A
former Everton midfielder, Parkinson worked alongside new Pools boss Dave
Challinor for a spell at AFC Fylde though more recently he has been first team development
coach at Shrewsbury Town.
The
48-year-old was a huge fans’ favourite at Goodison Park where he won an FA Cup
winners’ medal in 1995 following their victory over Manchester United.
Since
retiring from playing, he has gained a wealth of coaching experience which
began as youth team coach at Wigan Athletic before he progressed through to
work with the first team.
Parkinson
will be on the touchline alongside Challinor for tomorrow’s re-arranged Emirates
FA Cup First Round tie against Yeovil Town at Huish Park.
Antony
Sweeney will also remain a key part of the new-look set-up, taking up a role as
first team coach after a successful spell in caretaker charge. |
