Lincoln

Neil Critchley was the last Blackpool manager to win promotion at Bloomfield Road, but wasn't able to replicate that success after returning to the club for a second stint in 2023. Since his Seasiders sacking, he's been in charge of Hearts and is now an assistant to Gary O'Neil at Strasbourg.
