John Flanagan is back in football

After eight months out of the game following his shock dismissal from , John Flanagan is back in having joined the coaching staff at his former club .

Between 2008 and 2010, Flanagan acted as assistant to then manager Chris Willcock before stepping up to the main role in January 2010.
During his four months in charge at Seel Park. Flanagan oversaw a remarkable upturn in form as he helped to move the side up from 16th position all the way to 7th, before tendering his resignation due to work commitments.
Before turning his hand to coaching, Flanagan also enjoyed a distinguished playing career, which saw him represent the likes of Stockport County, , and Droylsden.
