Former Forest Green assistant manager Scott Lindsey has dropped down a division to join MK Dons as their new head coach from Crawley Town.
The 52-year-old replaces Mike Williamson, who left Stadium MK last week to join Carlisle United. Also making the move to MK Dons is former Forest Green assistant manager Jamie Day and ex-Rovers’ goalkeeping coach Steve Hale, who have also made the move from Crawley.
Lindsey led Crawley to promotion from the fourth tier last season, thrashing MK Dons 8-1 on aggregate before a 2-0 victory over Crewe at Wembley.
“I think it’s clear to everyone just how much potential there is at MK Dons, and I’m thrilled to be joining to help achieve it,” he told the Dons website.
“I can’t wait to get stuck in with the players, and look forward to meeting the supporters as soon as possible.”
Lindsey was in charge of the West Sussex club for 20 months, having left previous club Swindon Town to join them in January 2023. After leaving Forest Green he managed Chatham Town.
