Nigel Clough is to step down as manager of Burton Albion, the club has announced.
Gary Crosby, assistant manager, and Chief Scout, Simon Clough, will also be leaving the club.
Ben Robinson, chairman, said that the coronavirus pandemic is "having a dramatic impact on all football clubs, meaning we have to make difficult financial decisions going forward."

Clough first joined Burton Albion in 1998, initially as a player-manager, before returning in 2015. He said he hopes that the move will help the club with the financial pressures and secure the jobs of other staff.
Clough will be replaced by Jake Buxton, who will become a player-manager when his current playing contract expires.
