League One side Doncaster Rovers have sacked manager Paul Dickov.

The side are 17th with only six points from their first six league games and lost 1-0 at Gillingham on Saturday.

"The board are ambitious for a top-six finish and that is, and will remain our aim," said a club statement.

"From today Rob Jones will take charge of first-team affairs on a temporary basis and the club has full confidence in Rob as we look forward to a tough game against Walsall this weekend."
