MK DONS have parted company with head coach Graham Alexander.

The Dons were relegated last season and have made a poor start to life in League Two, currently sitting 16th in the table and without a win in eight matches.

Alexander, whose assistant Chris Lucketti is also leaving the club, was appointed in May following the Dons' relegation.

The former Salford and Fleetwood boss hit out at his players after they conceded two injury-time goals in a draw with Barrow on Saturday, saying: "We have unbelievable ways of shooting ourselves in the foot. We're making basic errors of judgement and bringing it on ourselves."

A statement on mkdons.com read: "The club would like to thank Graham and Chris for their dedication and tireless efforts during their time at Stadium MK. They depart with the best wishes of everyone at MK Dons."
