Jeff Stelling calls on Hartlepool United to target experience when it comes to naming new head coach

Just nine games into the new season, Pools, who were touted as possible title contenders ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, are on the lookout for a new head coach following Lee Clark's dramatic resignation.

Clark, who was only appointed in May, announced his decision to step down on Saturday immediately after his side were condemned to their sixth defeat in seven matches, losing 3-1 at home to newly-promoted Worthing.
