Coaching staff

In June, chief scout Marc Tracy joined Luton Town in the same role and was replaced by Joe Hutchinson, who came in as the clubs head of talent identification from Grimsby Town.[23][24] This was closely followed by assistant head coach Tom Shaw receiving his UEFA Pro Licence who also extended his contract in September until the summer of 2029.[25][26] In July Bobby Copping joined as the clubs new head of commercial.[27] Just before their pre-season friendly against Bromley, Lincoln confirmed that David Preece had returned as goalkeeping coach, with Scott Fry serving notice to join a Championship club.[28] However, in October, Fry committed himself to Lincoln as their set-piece coach, by signing a new contract, but the following month the club accepted an offer that would see Fry join Scottish Premiership club Rangers.[29][30]
