Maynard appointed as York boss

Stuart Maynard lost his job at Notts County despite taking them to the League Two play-offs last season.

York City have appointed Stuart Maynard as their new manager.

The Minstermen parted company with Adam Hinshelwood despite him taking them to second place in the National League last season and beginning this campaign unbeaten, with one win and three draws.

Maynard, who had a nomadic non-league career as a player, began his coaching career as assistant to Dean Brennan at Hemel Hempstead Town, Billericay Town, Kingstonian and Wealdstone.

When Brennan resigned as manager after taking Wealdstone to the National League, Maynard took on his first senior role and led the club to their highest league placing for 35 years - 16th in the fifth tier.

After taking them to 13th in 2022-23, Maynard landed the Notts County job in January 2024 but was sacked at the end of last season after losing to AFC Wimbledon in the League Two play-off semi-final.

In a statement on the club website, York co-chairs Matt and Julie-Anne Uggla said: "He comes with a high pedigree of football knowledge and holds the same ambition as ourselves in taking this football club to the EFL."
