York City has hired Scott Lindsey as their new head coach following the dismissal of Stuart Maynard, who led the team to promotion as National League champions last season. The decision to part ways with Maynard was attributed to a "difference in direction and vision for the football club." Lindsey previously managed Crawley Town, securing promotion to League One in 2024 before parting ways in March after a poor run of results. Lindsey's first match in charge of York will be against Crawley Town in an EFL Cup preliminary tie on August 3.
