DC agrees three-year deal with Hatters
Stockport Express
|June 25, 2025
DAVE Challinor has signed a new three-year deal with Stockport County, extending his time with the Hatters until the Summer of 2028.
-
Since joining the Club from Hartlepool United in November 2021, Challinor has gone on to become one of the most successful managers in Hatters history guiding them to two league titles during his time at Edgeley Park, as well as two play-off campaigns.
The gaffer has overseen 207 games during his time in charge so far, winning 114 of them giving him the second-highest win percentage of any permanent manager in the club's history, behind only Lincoln Hyde (1926-1931).
Taking over a side sat ninth in the National League after a difficult start to the 2021/22 campaign, Challinor's impact in SK3 was almost instant. His first win came in an unforgettable FA Cup tie against Bolton Wanderers, beating the League One side 5-3 in a replay at Edgeley Park, before guiding County on an incredible run of 20 wins from 21 games in all competitions, propelling the club to the top of the table.
