Episode Details

Dave Challinor has stepped down as Stockport County manager after a transformative five-year stint that saw the club rise from the National League to League One, only to narrowly miss Championship promotion in the play-off final. With 268 games managed and 144 wins, Challinor, who returned to the club in 2021, helped redefine the team’s trajectory and cemented his legacy as a builder of success. Despite the heartbreak of the final loss, he called it an “amazing” chapter that exceeded expectations and felt the right time to move on. The club’s CEO and veteran goalkeeper are also departing, marking the end of an era as Stockport enters a new phase. Challinor, linked with the Blackburn Rovers job, plans to take time off with his family, while the owner hailed him as a club legend for kick-starting their vision and laying foundations for the future.
