Oporto Sports is delighted to have completed the deal for our clients Michael Appleton and Richard O’Donnell to be named as head coach and assistant head coach of Shrewsbury Town, respectively.
Speaking about the agreement, Appleton said:
“It’s no secret that I wanted to stay at this football club so I’m really pleased the deal is now done.
“The last few weeks have been a challenge, but I’ve been really encouraged by how the players have responded and taken on board what I’ve asked of them.
“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.
“The positive feedback I’ve had from supporters has been fantastic.
“That identity, though, doesn’t just happen in a few weeks, we have a long way to go.
“However, both Richard and I are determined to build a team that will really make you proud next season.”
Both Appleton and O’Donnell have signed two-year agreements.
