Stuart McCall: Blackpool appoint former Bradford boss as assistant head coach

Stuart McCall has had three spells as manager of Bradford City

Blackpool have appointed former Bradford and Motherwell manager Stuart McCall as their assistant head coach.

The 57-year-old has been out of football since being sacked by the Bantams in December 2020.

"The knowledge that he has gained from an extensive playing, managerial and coaching career will be invaluable," boss Neil Critchley told the club website.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Chris Maxwell has signed a new two-year contract.

The 30-year-old made 53 appearances in all competitions last season as the Seasiders won promotion to the Championship.
