List of Lincoln City F.C. managers

This is a List of Lincoln City F.C. managers.

Lincoln's first manager Joe McClelland, appointed in 1936, still had to submit his team to the directors for approval.^[1] Their longest serving manager was Bill Anderson who was first appointed in 1946 and went onto manage City 855 times. There have been a total of 47 managers appointed to the role on a permanent basis. Michael Skubala took Lincoln City to the second tier of English football for the first time in 65 years.^[2] They are currently co-managed by Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw.^[3]
