Stoke City have appointed Max Porter as their new Assistant Manager ahead of the new Championship season. Porter joins the club from Arsenal, where he was the men's under-21s head coach. During his time at Arsenal, Porter helped provide a strong foundation for many of the club's young players as they prepared for their futures in senior football. He also has experience coaching at Newport County, Chelmsford City, and Bromley, following a senior playing career that spanned 13 years. Porter will join the coaching staff at Stoke City, with manager Mark Robins, ahead of the new season. Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Max for his contribution to the club and wish him and his family all the best for the future.
