Blackpool FC sack Michael Appleton as Head Coach

Blackpool Football Club has today relieved Michael Appleton of his duties as Head Coach.

Assistant Head Coach David Kerslake will also be leaving the club.

The Club said they would like to thank Michael and David for their efforts during their time at Bloomfield Road and wished them all the best for the future.

The Club hope to be able to announce a new Head Coach in the coming days.

It was Appleton’s second spell in charge of the Seasiders, having rejoined the club following the departure of Neil Critchley last June.

Blackpool are currently second bottom of the Championship table, three points from safety inside the relegation zone.
