Oxford United sack head coach Bloomfield

He was appointed by Oxford at a time when they were 23rd in the Championship, three points adrift of safety, coming in after Rowett had overseen a dismal spell of one win in 10 matches.

After leading the Chairboys to the League One automatic promotion places amid the challenge of big-spending Birmingham City and Wrexham last season, he left to take over at Luton.

Speaking after Oxford’s relegation was confirmed in April, Bloomfield said he was confident of keeping his job.

“We’ve been pleasantly content with some of the improvements we have made but ultimately we wanted to stay in the league.”

Relegation brought an important result, though it was challenging.
