York appoint Lindsey after shock Maynard sacking

York City have appointed former Crawley Town boss Scott Lindsey as their new head coach, one day after sacking title-winning manager Stuart Maynard.

Maynard led the Minstermen to promotion as National League champions last season but was relieved of his duties on Sunday because of what the board called a "difference in direction and vision for the football club".

Lindsey took Crawley up to League One in his first spell in charge in 2024 but his second spell was brought to an end in March after a 10-game winless run in League Two left them one point above the relegation zone.

His first game as York boss will be against his former side in an EFL Cup preliminary tie on Monday, 3 August.
