The 2015–16 season is Oldham Athletic's 121st season in their history and 19th consecutive season in League One.[5] Along with competing in League One, the club will also participate in the FA Cup, League Cup and JP Trophy. The season covers the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016.
The club appointed Sunderland coach Darren Kelly as their new manager following the conclusion of the 2014–15 season.[6] However, Kelly's reign was brief and he was sacked after a 5–1 home defeat to Peterborough United[1] with Oldham having won only one of their first seven league games. Kelly was replaced by David Dunn[2] who he had signed as a player just over a month earlier. However, Dunn himself won only two of his 17 league games and was sacked after a poor run of form during which his team picked up two points from a possible 21.[3] Following Dunn's departure, Oldham turned to former player, coach and manager John Sheridan who was re-appointed as manager less than seven years after being sacked from the role.[4]
