MK Dons award manager Robinson with new contract

Championship club MK Dons have rewarded long-serving manager Karl Robinson with a new contract.

34-year-old Robinson, along with Head of Coaching Richie Barker, have signed new contracts at the club.

Robinson and Barker led the club to their first-ever promotion to the Sky Bet Championship after securing a second-place finish in League One last year.


“I'm ecstatic to be able to sign a third deal with this Football Club," Robinson told mkdons.com after penning his new deal.

“I can't thank the Chairman enough for the support he's given me over the five years. In certain seasons I imagine it was difficult for him to keep faith in our style. Everything I've achieved so far in my managerial career has been down to the support he's given me.

“I've also had fantastic support from Richie, as well all the backroom staff here at the Club. What we've achieved is a testament to everyone's hard work and not just me - the staff here are incredibly talented and I felt it was important we stuck together and all enjoy this new season."
