It's been confirmed Lincoln City Manager Michael Appleton has left the club following the conclusion of the 2021/2022 season.

In a statement on the Imps website he said:

“It has been a privilege to manage Lincoln City over the past three seasons. While this season did not match the highs of the last, we have still had some memorable performances and results.

“Clive Nates and the board, the players and all the staff throughout the club, have been fantastic colleagues over the past three years and I thank them all for their backing. I am sure they will continue to drive the club forward on and off the pitch with some really impressive foundations in place for the coming years.

“I would like to thank all of the supporters who have got behind me and the team. Lincoln City is a special club which will always be close to my heart.”

Appleton saw almost 150 competitive games in charge of City. Last season the team made the League One play off final.

City chairman Clive Nates thanked him for his contribution as manager.
