Dundee Football Club are delighted to announce Tony Docherty as the club’s new manager.

Tony is a man who has vast experience in football and has a wealth of knowledge of the Scottish game. After a full and thorough search process, Tony was the outstanding candidate. He has gained great respect as a coach and knows what is required to be successful in Scotland’s top flight.

After his playing career finished Tony became an SFA Development Officer and then moved into coaching at club level. Firstly, with Falkirk and then Dundee United, before teaming up with Derek McInnes in 2007. Their partnership began at St Johnstone, then Bristol City, Aberdeen, and Kilmarnock, where Tony has joined us from. Together McInnes and Docherty achieved the first division title, three second-place finishes in the Scottish Premier League, a Scottish League Cup, and a Championship title.

Managing Director John Nelms said, “I am delighted with Tony’s appointment. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge of our game, having been in the dugout for over 750 matches including national team experiences, European nights, and trophy-lifting moments here domestically.  Tony’s leadership, work ethic, and humility will go a long way to bringing Dundee success in the coming years.”

Tony’s backroom staff will be announced in due course.
