Stanley boss set for Spotland switch

Sky Sports sources understand Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman is poised to take over at Rochdale. Dale have been on the lookout for a new man at the helm since December after firing Steve Eyre and assistant Frankie Bunn. Coleman has an impressive record during his time at Accrington, although he previously admitted taking the club as far as he can. He has been at the Crown Ground for more than a decade and his 400th game in charge ended in defeat to Rochdale in September 2008. The 49-year-old would jump to League One with the move, although Dale are currently 21st in the table and three points from safety.
