Steve Evans Departs Rotherham United: A Second Spell Ends in Disappointment

Breaking News: Rotherham United Parts Ways with Steve Evans

Steve Evans has been dismissed from his position at Rotherham United, following a 4-0 home defeat to Crawley Town. The decision came with the Millers sitting 16th in EFL League One, 9 points clear of the relegation zone.

The Final Straw

The decisive moment came during the dismal loss against Crawley Town at AESSEAL New York Stadium, where fans voiced their dissatisfaction during the match, calling for Evans’s dismissal. The club confirmed the decision following a meeting between the chairman and manager on Sunday morning.

A Brief but Challenging Tenure

Evans, who had previously led the club to success during his first spell by taking them from League Two to the Championship, returned in April shortly after their relegation to League One was confirmed. Despite being given a three-year contract and overseeing 14 summer signings, with three additional recruits in January, the team struggled to find form.

New Leadership

Following Evans’s departure, the club has appointed former coach Matt Hamshaw as caretaker manager until the end of the season, with Andy Warrington joining as goalkeeper coach.

Looking Ahead

With eight games remaining in the season, Rotherham faces a challenging period as they sit nine points above the relegation zone. The team’s current position reflects their difficult campaign, having managed just 12 wins from 38 games in League One this season, and are currently experiencing a winless run stretching to four matches.

The change in management at Rotherham is part of a broader trend in League One, as all three Yorkshire clubs in the division have now sacked their managers in March. The club is expected to make a permanent appointment during the summer.
