Tranmere Rovers have parted ways with manager Andy Crosby after a disastrous run of 10 defeats in 11 League Two matches. The decision comes as Tranmere sit 19th in the table, just eight points above the relegation zone with 11 games remaining. Crosby had been in charge since June 2024 on a permanent basis.

Chairman Mark Palios acknowledged Crosby's previous contributions but cited the club's need to reverse their poor form. The team's struggles have been compounded by a severe injury crisis, with Tranmere battling to field a consistent lineup. Despite these challenges, the board felt a change was necessary to safeguard their League Two status.

Andy Parkinson will take charge as interim manager for Saturday's match against Oldham Athletic, assisted by Connor Jennings and Joe Murphy. The coaching trio faces an immediate test as Tranmere attempt to climb the table and avoid the drop. With the relegation battle intensifying, Tranmere's next few matches could prove pivotal in determining their League Two future.
