Stoke City have announced Ricky Martin has left his position as technical director – and will be replaced on an interim basis by Jon Walters.
Walters, who made 271 appearances for Stoke between 2010 and 2017, has taken over today until further notice.
Chairman John Coates said in a statement: “Ricky has worked tirelessly in his attempts to bring success to Stoke City, and I am appreciative of his hard work and dedication. With results on the field having fallen significantly short of our ambitions during the current season to date, we believe it is essential to take-on a new direction. We will run a full and robust recruitment process with immediate effect.
“Jonathan is ideally suited to the interim role and I’m thankful to him for stepping in to support Stoke City, a club I know is close to his heart, at this time.”
