Barnsley Football Club has parted ways with head coach Neill Collins just days before the League One Play-Offs. First-team coach Martin Devaney will take over as interim manager until the end of the season. The decision was made despite Barnsley being in contention for a Play-Off spot, currently sitting in fifth place. Director of Football Mladen Sormaz emphasized Collins’ professionalism and commitment but stressed the need for a change to secure a successful season conclusion. The Tykes face Northampton Town in their final League One match this Saturday, needing a win to guarantee a spot in the Play-Off semi-finals.
