National League manager sacked after poor run of form

Former Leeds, Bradford and Blackpool boss Grayson was appointed in the summer and won three of his first four matches, but has only won once in 11 games since then, leaving Hartlepool 12th in the National League.

Grayson’s last game in charge was the club’s 1-1 draw at Gainsborough Trinity in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
