Macclesfield FC are delighted to confirm John Rooney as our new First Team Manager.

John will be supported by Nigel Keogh, Peter Band and Anthony CurranĀ as we prepare for our debut season in the Enterprise National League North.

Following our record-breaking season last year, it was imperative that we acted quickly and decisively in naming our new Management Team, and this is one which fills us with excitement on so many levels.

In John Rooney, we have someone who is a vibrant advocate of our football philosophy and how this should be executed.

He commands respect at every level of the Club, and the relationships he has created here at the Leasing.com Stadium speak for themselves.

Tactically astute, John possesses all the attributes we need to sustainĀ the phenomenal momentum we currently enjoy.

In addition to this, John’s passion to lead this Club wasĀ something thatĀ is hard to put into words.

John recognises just how much all of this means to our fans and is absolutely committed to bringing further success to this Football Club.

Therefore, there can be no doubt that John is fully invested in the Club’s journey on an emotional level, and we have every confidenceĀ that he will be able to continue our upward trajectory towards the EFL.

Further to this, we are thrilled that Nigel, Peter and Anthony have all agreed to stay at the Club as part of John’s Coaching Team.

All three are incredibly talented, knowledgeable and well-respected individuals, with their dedication to Macclesfield Football Club beyond question.
