Stoke name new boss ahead of Millwall crunch clash
Stoke City have named Plymouth Argyle boss Steven Schumacher as their head coach ahead of their game against Millwall this weekend.
The 39-year-old has replaced Alex Neil and penned a three-and-a-half-year deal at the Bet365 Stadium.
Schumacher replaced Ryan Lowe after he left to join Preston and took Plymouth back to the Championship at the end of last season.
Plymouth are just three points above Stoke in the Championship table.
Joe Edwards’ Millwall – 20th in the Championship – head to 19th-placed Stoke as they look to end a run of six games without a win.
“The values that resonate with me for a Stoke City team are bravery and hard work, coupled with a desire to play attacking football and be a team our supporters can connect with,” Schumacher told Stoke’s website.
“We have the players to do that and, if we can get back to a point where the Bet365 Stadium is thought of as a tough venue to visit, we can really get it rocking again.”
