Michael Appleton: Blackpool reappoint former Oxford and Lincoln manager

Appleton was hired as the manager for a second time by the seaside club.

After just 65 days in charge of the Seasiders, Appleton left to take charge of the team at the end of the year.

After Neil Critchley left to take the assistant manager position at Villa, he returned to the club.

In May, Appleton left Lincoln.

The man who was forced to retire at the age of 27 because of injury, took the Imps to the League One play-off final in 2020-21, but they were beaten by a 2-0 score.

I'm very happy to be here. After two successful seasons, Appleton is excited to return to the club.

The fans will see some of the things I tried to do.

I want to play aggressive, forward- thinking football and we have certain things that we want from the players when we're playing. We don't want to be boring and boring people.

There's more to come.
