After Steve Schumacher’s dismissal due to poor results in the Championship, a temporary coaching staff has been appointed to take charge of the club. Director of football Jon Walters is planning to bring in a high-profile manager who can lead the talented squad of The Potters.
With the new signings and the great young talent within the team, there is an expectation for significant work to be done to create and develop a project that focuses on both the present and the future of the club. The potential success for Stoke City is high due to the players currently on the roster.

Alex Morris and Ryan Shawcross to Lead Stoke City
Jon Walters mentioned that his role is to make important decisions that will benefit Stoke City. This includes the decision to part ways with Steve Schumacher, and appoint Alex Morris and Ryan Shawcross as temporary replacements.
They will manage the team over the next few days, as Stoke City faces a crucial Carabao Cup match against Fleetwood at the Bet365 Stadium. This is an important opportunity to make amends with the fans after disappointing results in the EFL Championship.
However, this arrangement is only temporary, as the club is searching for a manager with the ability to continue developing Stoke City’s talented players, many of whom have great potential, as well as integrating the new signings who are in a difficult situation following Schumacher’s dismissal. These players will need to continue adapting to the team in order to earn playing time during the season.
Several key matches are coming up for Stoke City, and it is expected that a permanent manager will be appointed as soon as possible. The team will face Fleetwood on September 17 and Hull City on September 20, both home matches where they hope to receive strong support from the fans despite the challenges at the start of the season.
