Rory Delap: Stoke City coach leaves the Potters for a second time

Stoke City first-team coach Rory Delap has left the club for a second time.

The 46-year-old ex-Potters midfielder, who became a club legend in seven seasons under Tony Pulis as a player, has left his role as first-team coach.

Delap was brought back to Stoke by then Potters boss Gary Rowett to join the backroom staff in June 2018 following relegation from the Premier League.

But he now leaves as part of a reshuffle following Ricky Martin's appointment as technical director.

Martin said: "Our process of evolving the club's football operations remains ongoing and Rory leaves with our very best wishes.
