Luton Town Sack Manager Bloomfield Amid Poor League One Start

Luton Town has dismissed manager Matt Bloomfield after a poor start to their League One season, with the club currently sitting 11th in the table. Bloomfield, who took over from Rob Edwards in January, was unable to prevent Luton's relegation from the Championship after a final day defeat at West Bromwich Albion saw them finish 22nd. Despite an encouraging run with only two defeats in 11 games prior to the end of the 2024/25 season, Luton’s performance dropped significantly in the new season, with just three wins in the first four matches followed by a downturn including four losses in seven games. The club’s board cited the disappointing results and performances as the reason for relieving Bloomfield, his assistant Richard Thomas, first team coach Lee Harrison, and analyst Ben Cirne of their duties. Interim management will be handled by Alex Lawless and his support team while the club begins the process of appointing a new permanent manager. The board thanked the departing staff for their efforts during a challenging period and made no further comment at this time.
