What's Next for Stoke City?
The Stoke squad will report for pre-season training at Clayton Wood on Monday. New faces behind the scenes include head of performance Damian Roden, assistant manager Max Porter, and technical director Stuart Harvey.
Transfer Business
Transfer business is picking up as the group is tweaked to try to make an assault on the new extended play-offs. The team's owner and chairman, John Coates, insists everyone at Stoke City is "working relentlessly" to try to make sure a new club badge heralds the start of a successful new era.
| Stat | Value |

| League standing | 17th in Championship, 55 pts, 15W-10D-21L from 46 games |
| Recent form | LLLLD |
| Last result | Bristol City 2-0 Stoke City (2026-05-02) |
The team has a busy pre-season schedule, with four friendlies and a training camp confirmed so far. The fixtures include Braga (July 10, behind closed doors, training ground), Crewe Alexandra (July 18, 3pm, away), Everton (July 28, 7.45pm, home), and Valencia (August 1, 6.30pm, home).
New Club Badge
A new club badge has been designed with the help of supporters. The badge features a shield divided into quadrants with red and white stripes, the year of the club's formation, a kiln to symbolise the city's industrial legacy, and a Stafford knot. Coates said: “We as a club are determined that our new crest will come to represent a successful era both on and off the field.”
