League One's bottom side Bromley have appointed Karl Robinson as their new manager, ending the former MK Dons and Oxford United boss's time out of work since leaving Salford City in June. Robinson, 46, signed a long-term contract to stabilize Bromley, who sit three points from safety in the third tier after last season's historic promotion. Byron Webster, who served as interim manager following Andy Woodman's sacking, will remain on staff as part of Robinson's coaching team.
Robinson's first match will be Saturday's FA Cup first-round tie against Rotherham United, managed by his former Salford number two, Alex Bruce. Woodman was dismissed on October 22 after two wins from ten games this season, despite guiding the club to two promotions in three seasons. Robinson spent over six years at MK Dons, highlighted by a 4-0 League Cup win over Manchester United in 2014 and promotion to the Championship.
He later managed Charlton Athletic and Oxford United, taking the latter to the League One play-offs twice before departing in February 2023. After a Leeds United assistant role, Robinson led Salford City to a fourth-place finish last season, though they lost the play-off final to Notts County, resulting in his sacking.
