Stock City Appoint Paul Lambert As New Manager

Stoke City sacked Hughes early in the year after a poor run of form.

“Paul greatly impressed us with his knowledge of our squad and had a clear plan of how he would improve our results,” Stoke chairman Peter Coates said.

The Potters are 18th in the Premier League table, a point away from safety, and were knocked out of the FA Cup by League Two side Coventry City.

Stoke travel to Old Trafford on Monday but Lambert will have to watch the match from the stands, as he takes charge of the club on Tuesday.
