Bristol Rovers have sacked head coach Inigo Calderon following the team’s relegation from League One.

Burton’s draw with Wigan on Tuesday confirmed Rovers’ return to League Two following two seasons in the third tier.

His final game in charge was a 4-1 defeat by Blackpool on Saturday, a ninth loss in 10 matches to end the campaign.

First-team coach Miguel Llera has also left The Memorial Stadium.

Calderon was appointed on Boxing Day but Rovers only won six of his 26 games in charge and they finished 22nd in the table.

The former Brighton & Hove Albion defender was appointed on a two-and-a-half-year deal in December, with the club 19th in the table and three points above the drop zone, but he failed to steer them to safety.

The Bristol Rovers job was Calderon’s first in a first-team managerial role, with the 43-year-old previously being manager of Brighton’s under-18s team.

In early March, back-to-back wins against Huddersfield and Bolton saw Rovers move nine points clear of the relegation zone, but a torrid run of eight defeats in nine games followed to drop them into the bottom four.
