Mansfield Town are to announce their new manager in the morning and according to the BBC, Swindon Town manager David Flitcroft is the likely man.
Flitcroft has taken Swindon to seventh place in the League Two table after becoming the Robins boss in June 2017, winning just more than half of his 35 games in charge including home and away defeats to Coventry City.
Flitcroft could replace Steve Evans who resigned from Mansfield last night and has been appointed manager of Peterborough United, where the Scot, whose comments on Saturday after the 1-1 draw with the Sky Blues included calling Mark Robins "Squeaky", has lived for thirty years and where his kids were born and raised.
Evans told the Peterborough Telegraph: “I’m also lucky to be taking over a team with a great chance of winning promotion straight away. As a new manager you normally take over a struggling team. This club has a great opportunity to be successful this season even though they’ve not been at their best recently.
“There is a lot of talent here and if myself and Paul Raynor (Evans’ assistant) can add to it we could get into that top six and I know what would then happen because I’ve won the League One play-offs before.
“If we don’t get up then some ‘Steve Evans-type’ players will be coming here in the summer."
