Matt Taylor’s tenure at the New York Stadium has come to an end
- Rotherham United have sacked manager Matt Taylor due to their poor performance and current position in the Championship table.
- Taylor’s win percentage was only 18.2% during his tenure, winning just 10 out of 55 games in charge.
- The club hierarchy made the decision to part ways with Taylor before the international break, allowing them time to find a successor and improve the team’s performance before their upcoming match against Leeds United.
- Rotherham United are the next Championship club to confirm a change in the dugout, as Matt Taylor’s tenure at the New York Stadium reached its conclusion on Monday morning.
The Millers are currently sat 22nd in the table, a position which many expected the South Yorkshire outfit to find themselves in, such is the strength of competition throughout the division this season, and the club hierarchy have decided to part ways with the former Exeter City boss as we head into the third international break of the campaign.
Ultimately, Taylor departs the New York Stadium with a win percentage of just 18.2%, winning just 10 of his 55 games in charge.
How have Rotherham United performed in recent weeks?
Rotherham’s form of late has been extremely inconsistent, with only one victory in their last eleven Championship outings – a 2-0 home success over Coventry City on October 25th – during a period where they have faced multiple teams in and around them in the table, but failed to make any significant ground on Huddersfield Town, who sit four points above their Yorkshire rivals in the final place above the relegation zone.
Whilst Taylor’s side picked up respectable draws against high-flying Ipswich and Southampton, many will point at the accumulation of just one point from six against Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday, as Rotherham are the only side to fall at the hands of the Owls after a below-par display at Hillsborough.
After another abject away performance and a 5-0 hammering at the hands of a resurgent Watford on Saturday, Taylor himself admitted that he could’ve been at risk of the sack, but would be surprised if a successor can change the side’s fortunes imminently.
