The new manager
Karl Robinson
10 May 2010 - 22 October 2016
10 May 2010 - 22 October 2016
Karl Robinson is the longest-serving manager of MK Dons and one of the longest-ever serving managers in the EFL.
He was born in Rainhill, near Liverpool, on 13 September 1980 and played as first a striker, being described as a “big, powerful centre forward”, and later a midfielder, .for Caernarfon Town, Bamber Bridge, Marine, Oswestry Town, Rhyl, Kidsgrove Athletic, Prescot Cables, St Helens Town, Alsager Town and Warrington Town before coaching at coached at the Liverpool FC youth academy and Blackburn Rovers.
He joined Paul Ince at MK Dons as his assistant manager. He was appointed manager on 10 May 2010 at the age of 29, becoming the youngest manager in the Football League at the time and also the youngest person ever to acquire a EUFA Pro Licence.
In the 2010–11 season, his first season in charge, Karl guided the Dons to fifth place in League One. This was widely regarded as a great achievement, improving on the Dons' points total over the previous season. The team lost in the play-offs to Peterborough United.
In the 2011–12 season, he continued making impressive strides, attracting big name players and guiding his side to another fifth-place finish and was again in the play-offs. He signed a three-year contract extension with the Dons in July 2015.
The 2014-15 season saw arguably the Dons’ greatest victory, a 4–0 win over Manchester United on 26 August 2014, as well as leading promotion to the Championship for the first time, finishing runners-up in League One. However the team only survived one season in the second tier, finishing 23rd and were relegated.
The club’s form back in League One in the 2016-17 season was disappointing and on 23 October 2016, with the Dons in 19th place after winning only six of the 18 League games they had played, Karl left the club by mutual agreement.
He was named the new Charlton Athletic manager on 24 November 2016 following the sacking of Russell Slade and his first game in charge was at home against MK Dons in the FA Cup on 3 December. He departed by mutual consent on 22 March 2018.
The same day he was appointed as the new head coach of Oxford United, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club, extended in August 2019 to 2022.
Karl is married to former Brookside star Ann Marie Davies and they have a daughter, Jasmine. Apart from his deep passion for football, he has also revealed he enjoys deep sea fishing and the works of James Joyce.
