The club appointed Sunderland coach Darren Kelly as their new manager following the conclusion of the 2014–15 season.^[6] However, Kelly's reign was brief and he was sacked after a 5–1 home defeat to Peterborough United^[1] with Oldham having won only one of their first seven league games. Kelly was replaced by David Dunn^[2] who he had signed as a player just over a month earlier. However, Dunn himself won only two of his 17 league games and was sacked after a poor run of form during which his team picked up two points from a possible 21.^[3] Following Dunn's departure, Oldham turned to former player, coach and manager John Sheridan who was re-appointed as manager less than seven years after being sacked from the role.^[4]
