Charlie Adam - themaclad - 31-12-2023
LEFT FIELD APPOINTMENT
Fleetwood have appointed former Scotland midfielder Charlie Adam as their new head coach.
The 38-year-old replaces Lee Johnson who was sacked on Saturday after a run of nine games without a win.
Adam retired in 2022 after playing for clubs including Rangers, Liverpool, Blackpool and Stoke City and is taking on his first managerial role.
He becomes the third boss at the League One club this season following Johnson and Scott Brown.
Adam has been working as a coach with Premier League side Burnley as their loan manager, and also with their under-21 players.
Maurice Ross will also join as assistant coach and former Fleetwood player Ross Wallace becomes first-team coach with their first game in charge at Shrewsbury on Monday.
