Michael Appleton has officially signed a two-year contract to become the permanent manager of Shrewsbury Town, following a stint as head coach starting on March 26. Despite the team's relegation to League Two, Appleton expressed his commitment to the club, sharing his desire to shape the future and build upon his initial experience with the players. Known for his work with young talent, Appleton aims to implement a clear playing vision as he prepares for the upcoming season. His assistant, Richard O'Donnell, will also continue in his position, emphasizing stability within the coaching staff.
"It's no secret that I wanted to stay at this football club so I'm really pleased the deal is now done," Appleton told Shrewsbury's official club website.
"Most importantly, I've learned a lot about the group - what we need going forward and who I want to be part of the journey next season."
"The club has a clear vision for how it wants the team to play. And I hope in the games I've had so far, you've seen the type of football we are working to introduce."
"However, both Richard and I are determined to build a successful future for Shrewsbury Town and we believe in the potential of this team."
