Former Celtic striker Colin Kazim-Richards named Crawley Town manager

Celtic legend Colin Kazim‑Richards has been named the new manager of Crawley Town, stepping into his first senior coaching role after a stint with Arsenal’s youth academy. The 39‑year‑old, who scored twice in 13 appearances for the Hoops in 2016, will replace Scott Lindsey as the club battles to avoid relegation from League Two.

Kazim‑Richards, who played for 18 clubs including Feyenoord, Galatasaray and Corinthians, brings a wealth of experience to the West Sussex side. Crawley, sitting 21st in the table, hopes his leadership will steer the club out of the drop zone.
