Bloomfield was appointed in January after the departure of Gary Rowett with the aim of keeping the U’s in the Championship.
Despite an upturn in form, Oxford were relegated to the third tier in 22nd place, along with Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday.
A statement from the club read: “Oxford United can confirm the departure of Matt Bloomfield as men’s first team head coach.
“Matt was appointed in January 2026 and oversaw the second half of the 2025/26 season, a campaign which ultimately ended in relegation to League One. Throughout his tenure, he represented Oxford United with professionalism and integrity.
