Lincoln City have appointed Tom Shaw and Chris Cohen as joint head coaches ahead of their Championship return, replacing Michael Skubala who departed for Bristol City. Skubala guided the Imps to 103 points and promotion back to the second tier after a 65-year absence before moving on to pastures new.
