LEFT FIELD APPOINTMENT

Fleetwood have appointed former Scotland midfielder Charlie Adam as their new head coach.

The 38-year-old replaces Lee Johnson who was sacked on Saturday after a run of nine games without a win.

Adam retired in 2022 after playing for clubs including Rangers, Liverpool, Blackpool and Stoke City and is taking on his first managerial role.

He becomes the third boss at the League One club this season following Johnson and Scott Brown.

Adam has been working as a coach with Premier League side Burnley as their loan manager, and also with their under-21 players.

Maurice Ross will also join as assistant coach and former Fleetwood player Ross Wallace becomes first-team coach with their first game in charge at Shrewsbury on Monday.

Fleetwood Town have sacked manager Charlie Adam after just under a year in the job following a run of one win in their past 11 league games.

The Cod Army lost 2-0 at Barrow on Saturday, their fifth defeat in a run which also includes five draws.

In addition, they were knocked out of the FA Cup in the first round at Reading last month.

Former Liverpool midfielder Adam took charge on New Year's Eve 2023, replacing Lee Johnson, in his first job as a manager.

The 39-year-old failed to prevent the Lancashire club being relegated to League Two at the end of last season and they are currently 18th in the table, eight points above the relegation zone.

Fleetwood owner Jamie Pilley said: "I'd like to personally thank Charlie for his commitment and professionalism over the last 12 months.

"He's been a pleasure to work with but recent results meant we felt a change was necessary. I wish him well for the future."

Fleetwood's next match is against Chesterfield at home on Boxing Day.

Everybody who has ever been sacked in football has always been a pleasure to work with.

I wonder what you'd have to do NOT to be a pleasure to work with.

Or even more telling how much of a pleasure would you need to have been to have kept your job?
