After Ronnie Moore was sacked in April 2014, assistant John McMahon took over once again as caretaker manager, but he could not stop the club from being relegated into League Two. At the end of 2014, the club announced the appointment of Rob Edwards as their new manager, but following a further decline which had seen Tranmere slump to the bottom of League Two, he was sacked on 13 October 2014. He was followed by the former Leicester City manager Micky Adams, but shortly before the club's relegation from League Two was confirmed in April 2015, he in turn was dismissed and replaced by Gary Brabin. Brabin left the club in September 2016.
