Evans axed as Stubbs arrives

FORMER Millers boss Steve Evans  has been axed by Leeds United after seven months in charge of the Championship club.

As Rotherham today prepare to appoint Alan Stubbs, Evans will be looking for a new job. The 53-year-old said on Saturday he was keen to remain after Leeds had made a formal approach for Bristol Rovers manager Darrell Clarke but the omens haven't been good for several weeks.

"The club is now looking to appoint a new head coach to build on the good work of Steve and Paul [Raynor, assistant head coach] and deliver the special season which our supporters deserve," said Elland Road chief Massimo Cellino.

Raynor, who had been Evans' assistant at Rotherham, has also left.

Meanwhile, the Millers will unveil Stubbs as their fourth boss inside a year at a press unveiling this afternoon at the New York Stadium.
