The League One club have a number of players who are free agents later this summer – Ryan Inniss, Conor Washington, Jake Forster-Caskey, Adam Matthews and Ben Purrington.

Sandgaard told the South London Press that the search for a new boss – set to be his third new appointment – would be an exhaustive one.

The experienced centre-back is out of contract at the end of July.
