Club Statement: Management Team Update

Club Statement: Management Team Update

Dundee Football Club can today confirm that manager Tony Docherty, Stuart Taylor, Alan Combe and Graeme Henderson have been relieved of their duties at the football club with immediate effect.

Tony was appointed manager of Dundee FC in May 2023 after the club was promoted to the Scottish Premiership and in his first season in charge guided the club to a top six finish in the league.
Stuart was brought in as assistant manager to Tony in June 2023.
Alan has been with the club since 2021 as goalkeeping coach and Graeme joined last summer as head of performance.

Sunday’s result confirmed the club’s place in the Scottish Premiership for next season. However, this season the results of the team have not met the standards expected by the club. With the club finishing the season in tenth position, one place above the relegation play-off position, the club have taken the decision to relieve Tony of his duties.

The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Tony, Stuart, Alan and Graeme for all of the work they have put into the club during their time at Dundee FC. We wish them all the best for the future.

The club intends at this juncture to restructure the football department and the process to appoint a new management team begins immediately.

The club shall be making no further comment at this time.
