Blackpool make Terry McPhillips permanent manager of club on twelve-month contract

Terry McPhillips has been appointed Blackpool’s permanent manager on a twelve-month contract.

McPhillips worked as Gary Bowyer’s assistant for the League One side before overseeing them to four wins, four draws and a single defeat as interim boss.

The 49-year-old told the club’s official website: “It’s an offer I couldn’t turn down, becoming the manager of Blackpool, such a big club with lots of history. I’m delighted.

“We’re eight unbeaten and that run helps. Some of the performances in that run have been superb and I’m just pleased this is done now because it takes a bit of a weight off everyone. We can now get focused and ready for Plymouth on Saturday.”
