Arsenal coach, Porter leaves Emirates to join another English club

Arsenal on Tuesday confirmed that Max Porter has left his role as the club’s under-21s head coach to join English club Stoke City as Assistant Manager.

Porter became head coach of Arsenal’s under-21s team last August, taking the team to a 14th-place finish in Premier League 2 last season.

He joined the Gunners in July 2017 as the club’s under-9s coach and had taken on the role of head coach at several age levels, including under-13s, under-17s and under-19.

Porter helped provide a strong foundation for many of Arsenal’s young players during his time at the Emirates Stadium.

“Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Max for his contribution to the club and wish him and his family all the best for the future,” Arsenal’s statement partly read.
