Shrewsbury Town searching for 'head coach' to replace Steve Cotterill
Shrewsbury Town are looking for a head coach rather than a manager in the wake of Steve Cotterill’s departure, the Shropshire Star understands.
Cotterill left his role as Town boss on Tuesday – a month on from the end of the League One season.
And with a new football board having been put in place at Montgomery Waters Meadow in that time, Town will seek to appoint a head coach rather than a manager.
New director of football Micky Moore – who last month swapped Cheltenham Town for Shropshire as part of Salop’s restructuring – will instead oversee recruitment, with the new head coach left to run matters on the pitch. It is a departure from appointing first-team managers, the title previously held by Cotterill, Sam Ricketts, John Askey, Paul Hurst, Micky Mellon and others before.
