Brian Dutton departs as Walsall head coach
Brian Dutton has left his role as head coach of Walsall following the conclusion of the 2020/21 season.
The 36-year-old first joined the club in 2019 as assistant coach to Darrell Clarke and then took over as head coach in February when Clarke left for Port Vale.
Dutton signed a deal until the end of the campaign but after only three wins in 20 games he has now been let go by the Saddlers.
He consistently said he wanted the job long-term and felt he needed time and transfer windows to make an impact, but Walsall have chosen to go in a different direction.
A club statement read: "The club would like to place on record its thanks to Brian for his hard work and dedication during his two seasons at the Banks’s Stadium and we wish him well for the future.
"The club will now begin the process of recruiting a new head coach."
