David Flitcroft sacked by Mansfield Town
Former Academy manager John Dempster given top job
Mansfield Town have sacked David Flitcroft after failing to reach the final of the Sky Bet League Two playoffs.
Flitcroft's side shared two draws with Newport (1-1 in south Wales and 0-0 in Nottinghamshire) before losing 5-3 on penalties.
Head of football operations Greg Abbott and assistant boss Ben Futcher have also departed but John Dempster, the club's former Academy manager, has been promoted to the top job.
Chairman John Radford said: "In John, we have a man who is considered to be one of the brightest and most innovative young coaches in football."
"His success with the youth team over the past few seasons has been remarkable and he now deserves the opportunity to manage the first team."
