Former Irish international Mark Kinsella will take charge as Walsall boss for the final two games of the season after the club sacked manager Kevan Broadhurst.

The sacking came after the club were relegated to League Two following Saturday's defeat against Huddersfield. Broadhurst had only taken charge of the Saddlers in February after Paul Merson's poor run at the helm saw the side go eight games without a win.

Walsall have now been relegated twice in the last three years. Kinsella will take charge as the board of directors seek a long-term replacement.
