On the appointments, York City chairman Glen Henderson said: “I am incredibly pleased to welcome David and Michael to the club as our new first team management team.
“The key to this appointment was finding someone who aligns with our long-term vision for the club, and David was the standout candidate from the start.
“He is talented and experienced across all aspects of managing a football club, from first team management, player development, scouting, coaching, motivation, and with an excellent understanding of how the football business works.
“He brings with him a talented coach in Michael, who has a track history of playing a key part in the development of top-class footballers.”
