Cambridge sack manager Bonner


Cambridge have sacked manager Mark Bonner in the wake of last night's 3-0 home defeat by Lincoln.


The loss, the Us' third in a row, left them 18th in the League One table.


Bonner has been at the club since 2002, first in their academy, before rising through the ranks and taking over as head coach in January 2020.


Majority owner Paul Barry said: “I want to start by simply saying this - Mark Bonner will rightly go down as one of the most important people in the history of Cambridge United Football Club.


"All of us - owners, board, staff, players and fans - know how lucky we have been to have him and how hard this decision has been.


“But in football, sometimes you do have to make decisions you believe are right for the long-term future of the club - difficult though they can sometimes be.


"Given our recent performances and results, we all feel - owners and board - that this is the right moment to part company with Mark, with huge respect, admiration and acknowledgement for all we have achieved together."


Barry Corr and Kevin Betsy will take charge of the Cambridge first team while the club searches for a new manager.
