In an interview with Sky Sports, Paul Hurst, the manager of Shrewsbury Town, has expressed his determination to prove his doubters wrong this season. Hurst, who has had a varied managerial career, including successful spells at Ilkeston Town, Boston United, and Grimsby Town, is back at Shrewsbury, a club he led to the League One play-off final in the 2017/18 season.
Hurst acknowledges that his early managerial career was marked by success, but he found himself facing challenges when he took on the Ipswich Town and Scunthorpe United jobs. However, he is now relishing the opportunity to rebuild Shrewsbury and restore the club’s ambition.
“Despite the perception that Shrewsbury may be relegation favorites in League One, Hurst is confident that his team can overachieve and surprise the pundits.”
Hurst’s approach to recruitment focuses on identifying players with something to prove, such as Tommi O’Reilly, Aristote Nsiala, and Luca Hoole. He believes that these players possess the ability to succeed in League One and are eager to showcase their skills.
As Hurst prepares for the new season, he is driven by a desire to achieve that “wow moment,” whether it’s a promotion, a cup upset, or a significant win. The manager, who turns 50 in September, is determined to use his experience and expertise to lead Shrewsbury to new heights.
Fans of Shrewsbury Town can look forward to following the team’s journey this season, as they aim to defy the odds and surpass expectations in the highly competitive world of English football.
