Swindon Town's former boss Scott Lindsey is reportedly a target for Rotherham United.

What happened?

Lindsey left Crawley Town in March and is now on Rotherham's radar to fill their managerial vacancy.

Rotherham United are the only League Two club without a manager, and their Head of Football, Steve McClaren, is looking at Lindsey to fill the void. Having been turned down by Ian Burchnall and with talks breaking down with Mat Sadler, Rotherham have left it late to appoint a successor to Lee Clarke.

Why it matters for Swindon Town

Lindsey's potential move to Rotherham United comes as Swindon Town prepare for the new season, having finished 9th in England League Two with 75 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LLDLW. Their last result was a 1-2 loss to Chesterfield on 2026-05-02.

What comes next?

With pre-season fast approaching, Rotherham will need to make a decision quickly to start on their preparations for an expected promotion challenge following their relegation last term. Eight of the 24 League Two clubs have appointed a manager this summer, including Crawley Town and Exeter City making temporary appointments permanent. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 9th in England League Two | | Points | 75 | | Recent form | LLDLW | | Last result | Swindon Town 1-2 Chesterfield | | Date | 2026-05-02 |

Swindon Town will be starting a season with the same manager that started the previous season for the first time since 2020. And with the summer's first signing and sale giving a big clue for this season's plans, Swindon players are getting a head start on Holloway's intense pre-season. But Rotherham United's search for a new boss continues, with Lindsey's experience at Swindon Town and Crawley Town making him a potential candidate. So the question remains, will Lindsey take the job at Rotherham United, and what will this mean for Swindon Town's rivals in League Two?
