Accrington Stanley F.C. was founded in October 1968 as a successor to the original Accrington Stanley which had collapsed in 1966. It is based in the Lancashire town of Accrington.

Managerial history

[edit]

The clubs first manager was Jimmy Hinksman.

Following the departure of manager Leam Richardson on 30 April 2013, then player-coach James Beattie expressed an interest in taking the position.[1] On 13 May 2013, Beattie was appointed Stanley's new manager.[2] After 16 months in the post, Beattie left by mutual consent on 12 September 2014.[3] He managed for 58 matches with a win ratio of 27.6%.

Paul Stephenson was appointed caretaker manager who oversaw a victory against AFC Wimbledon.[4] On 18 September 2014, John Coleman was confirmed as manager of Accrington for his second spell with the club.[5]
