According to reporter Ross Gregory, MK Dons are expected to appoint Gateshead player-manager Mike Williamson as their new manager.
Following their decision on Monday to break ways with manager Graham Alexander, MK Dons have started searching for a new leader. However, it appears that their hunt will be brief because a new number one appears to be on the way in.
Thanks to his outstanding record in the National League, Gateshead manager Williamson was immediately regarded as a favourite. It has already been reported that he has “taken” the position at Stadium MK.
Following Alexander’s resignation, Williamson and assistant manager Ian Watson are expected to join MK Dons, according to reporter Ross Gregory on X.
Williamson joined Gateshead in the summer of 2019 and currently serves as player-manager. He has since ingrained a captivating style of play, and the Heed have been consistently outperforming their opponents in the fifth division since their promotion from the National League North.
A well-liked appointment?
Williamson had long been expected to advance to the EFL, and with MK Dons now making a move, it appears he will get his opportunity in League Two. Williamson is an intriguing young coach who seems like a promising fit for the Dons, especially considering his style of play has made him popular in the lower divisions and the team’s need for a distinct philosophy.
Although some MK Dons supporters might have preferred a more seasoned operator, Williamson is expected to be a widely welcomed appointment among the team’s followers.
The Dons are 16th in the League Two standings and have not won in eight games. After 13 games, they are 10 points behind league leaders Stockport County and six points off of the play-off spots.
