Oxford United next manager: Ex-Leeds United, Rotherham United, Middlesbrough & Hull City men among favourites
- On Saturday, June 20, 2026, Oxford United announced the departure of Men's First Team Head Coach Matt Bloomfield after a five-month tenure at the Kassam Stadium.
- Relegation to League One prompted the change after Oxford finished 22nd in the Championship, dropping into the third tier alongside Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City.
- Bloomfield, who replaced Gary Rowett in January, oversaw the second half of the 2025/26 campaign; despite an initial upturn in form, the team struggled in February and ultimately failed to avoid relegation.
- The search for a new head coach begins immediately as the club seeks its fourth manager in under two years; an Oxford United spokesperson said updates will follow in due course.
- With EFL fixtures scheduled for release on Thursday, June 25, favorites for the position include former managers from Leeds United, Rotherham United, Middlesbrough, and Hull City.
