A Southport born football coach has this week become England’s youngest First-Team coach in Europe’s Top 10 Leagues
Kieron Lovelady has been appointmented at Turkish Süper Lig club Adana Demirspor after leaving his role at Manchester City.

Speaking on his new role, Lovelady said:
“It’s an incredible opportunity to be part of Adana Demirspor’s first-team setup. I’m excited to contribute to the club’s ambitions and continue my development as a coach at the highest level. I’m grateful for the experiences that have brought me to this point and look forward to embracing this new challenge.”
Loveladys first game as part of the Adana coaching staff will be at home to Kasimpassa followed by a trip to play European giants Galatasaray.
