Former Hibs manager sacked by Cambridge United after six-game winless run

Job was Colin Calderwood's first in management since leaving Easter Road

Former Hibs manager Colin Calderwood has been sacked as manager of Cambridge United, the club have announced.

The 55-year-old had been in charge of the English League Two side since 2018 but was sacked amid a string of poor results.

Cambridge haven't won in six matches and have been victorious only once in their last 10.

Calderwood's last match was a 4-0 home defeat to Salford City, managed by fellow ex-Scottish international Graham Alexander.

His role at the Abbey Stadium was his first as a manager since being sacked by Hibs in 2011.

Since then he has been assistant boss at Birmingham City, Norwich City, Brigton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa.

Cambridge owner Paul Barry said: ”We have agreed with Colin that the time is right for him to leave the club.

“I would like to put on record our respect for him as a head coach and a person.

“He has represented Cambridge United with honesty and integrity throughout his time with us and he leaves with our very best wishes.”
