NEIL Redfearn has been sacked by Rotherham United following the Millers’ 2-1 defeat against Wanderers on Saturday.
The former Bolton midfielder had been in charge of the South Yorkshire side for just four months, succeeding Steve Evans, who is now in charge at Leeds United.
Redfearn lost 14 of his 21 games in charge and saw his side beaten in stoppage time at the Macron Stadium thanks to a late Kaiyne Woolery goal.
Rotherham chairman Tony Stewart said: “It is with a heavy heart that we've parted company with Neil today. As we all know football is a results driven business and with 16 games to go our aim has to be to retain our Championship status.
“Everyone at the club wishes Neil well with his future career and thank him for his efforts and endeavour.
“Our focus now is 100 per cent behind appointing a first-team manager as soon as possible.”
