Crawley Town are expected to announce their new manager today – a football transfer expert has named who it might be.
Scott Lindsey was sacked on Sunday evening after just six wins in 39 League Two games this season, and one win in the last ten games. Reds are currently 21st in the table, two points off the bottom and one point off relegation.
With seven games left, it’s in Crawley’s hand and the boss will have seven games to make sure that happens.
And according to Pete O’Rourke, transfer correspondent for @footyinsider247, it’s Colin Kazim-Richards. He posted: “Understand Former Sheffield United and Turkey international forward Colin Kazım-Richards is set to be named the new Crawley Town manager. Kazim-Richards has worked at Arsenal coaching some youth sides. #ctfc #Crawley”

O’Rourke added: “Birmingham academy coach Julian Gray is set to join the club as assistant to Kazim- Richards.”
The 39-year-old started enjoyed spells with Queens Park Rangers, Arsenal and Bury before playing more than 450- professional games for clubs including Sheffield United, Galatasaray, Feyenoord, Blackburn and Brighton and Hove Albion.
Kazim-Richards was nicknamed the "Coca-Cola Kid," when he was signed by Brighton & Hove Albion in 2005 for £250,000, funded by a fan who won a Coca-Cola competition.
He also played 37 Internationals for Turkey.
