Stockport County have moved swiftly to secure Jim McNulty as their new manager, prising the experienced boss away from local rivals Rochdale on a three-year contract.
The appointment represents a significant coup for the Hatters, who have acted decisively to bring in McNulty following their search for a new head coach. The length of the deal underlines the club’s confidence in the former defender to lead their project through to 2028.
McNulty’s switch across Greater Manchester marks an intriguing development in the region’s footballing landscape, with the 41-year-old now tasked with guiding Stockport’s ambitions after his tenure at Spotland came to an abrupt end.
The new Edgeley Park chief brings a wealth of experience both as a player and manager, having enjoyed a distinguished career in the EFL before transitioning into coaching. His appointment will be seen as a statement of intent by County’s hierarchy as they look to build on recent progress.
