AFC Wimbledon have parted company with manager Mark Robinson following a disastrous run of 20 games without a win that has left the club in the League One relegation zone.

The Dons hierarchy have eventually lost faith in Robinson’s ability to be able to turn around results after five straight defeats.

Wimbledon have taken just nine points from a possible 60 available since early December and are one point from safety with seven games remaining.

Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat by Cambridge sealed Robinson’s fate and the club is now searching for a new manager to save them from relegation.

Wimbledon said in a statement: “Head coach Mark Robinson has today parted company with AFC Wimbledon by mutual consent.

“The club would like to place on record its gratitude to Mark for all his hard work, loyalty and commitment whilst in this role. There will be no further statement for the time being.”

Robinson was appointed Wimbledon manager last February following a spell in interim charge.

He originally joined the Dons in 2004 and his previous roles include head of youth, academy manager and first-team coach.
