Lincoln have swiftly appointed Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw as joint head coaches in the wake of Michael Skubala’s departure to Bristol City.
Cohen and Shaw, both 39, had been working together under Skubala as assistant coaches as the Red Imps stormed to the League One title last season to reach the second tier of English football for the first time in 65 years.
Lincoln sporting director Jez George said: “Chris and Tom were very close to being in these roles already, with autonomy to lead every training session, unit meetings and taking responsibility for devising individual game plans.
“We know this goes against convention, but our job is to do what we think is right for Lincoln City at this time.
