Oxford United have sacked manager Gary Rowett amid poor results that have left the team in the relegation zone of the Championship. Rowett was appointed on 20 December 2024 and had kept Oxford in the Championship last season. However, the team currently sits 22nd, just two points from safety, with 19 points from 22 games.
Oxford have managed only one win in their last 10 matches since early November, prompting the club to make a change. Craig Short has been named interim manager and will lead the team in their next match at home to Southampton on Boxing Day.
Chairman Grant Ferguson acknowledged Rowett's hard work and leadership but stated the decision was made in the club's best interests after a disappointing run of form.
