In a move that signals a fresh start for the Robins, Swindon Town assistant manager Marcus Bignot has parted ways with the club by mutual consent. The departure comes as the League Two side looks to reshape its backroom staff ahead of the upcoming season.

Bignot, 58, originally joined the County Ground setup in June 2024 as part of former head coach Mark Kennedy's coaching team. When Kennedy was relieved of his duties six months later, Bignot showed his professionalism by staying on to work under the legendary Ian Holloway, a manager known for his passionate and hands-on approach.

His exit follows the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign, with the club stating it is "refreshing the football department and aligning staff roles" to build momentum for the new season—a common strategy in football as teams look to evolve their tactical identity and team culture.

Holloway paid tribute to Bignot's impact, saying: "Marcus has been a real positive influence since the moment I walked through the door. His energy, professionalism, and commitment to the players and staff have been first class, and he leaves with nothing but our respect and gratitude."

For fans and staff alike, Bignot's departure marks the end of a chapter, but the focus now shifts to who will step into the assistant manager role as Swindon prepares for another competitive League Two campaign.
