Blackpool have appointed Michael Appleton as the club's new Head Coach and successor to Neil Critchley.
The 46-year-old has returned to Bloomfield Road for a second spell in charge of the Seasiders. Appleton had been out of work after departing League One side Lincoln City earlier this summer.
The Seasiders are Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt's old side. The Whites manager had featured in the odds for the vacant post which has now been filled, but the likes of Appleton, Liam Rosenior and Michael Duff were often the more likely candidates.
