A final straw after Kilmarnock’s 2-1 loss to Aberdeen on Sunday. Instead, the club now languishes in the Scottish Premiership’s 11th-place position, just three points clear of Livingston. In a press release, the board of directors explained that this painful decision came after months of deliberation.
Kris Doolan was set to be appointed head of development and under-19s manager. Now, he’s set to reprise that interim role with the first team. His colleagues Craig Clark and Paul Di Giacomo will be along for the ride. They’ll be crucial to helping lead their team through what’s sure to be a very challenging off-season. “Unfortunately, change is now required to best serve the interests of Kilmarnock FC,” the board noted in their statement.
The club’s short term aims must be to deliver stability and continuity and to get the best out of the squad that transcends this turbulent period. This board is 100% behind Doolan, Clark and Di Giacomo. Combined, they hope to steer Kilmarnock back to winning ways. “Our focus is now on providing stability, supporting the squad, and supporting Kris, Craig, and Paul as they lead the team forward while we progress with the next steps,” they added.
As Kilmarnock prepares for a crucial set of festive fixtures, including matches against Falkirk on December 20, St Mirren on December 27, and Dundee on December 30, the club hopes to regain momentum and improve its league position. The start of these festive fixtures finally arrive this weekend, at home to Falkirk. We sincerely encourage all friends of T4America to hang with us as we work to get back on the competitive side of things!
For Kilmarnock, the situation is dire. With Livingston having a game in hand, their situation in the league could get even more murky. As Doolan takes the reins temporarily, the focus will be on revitalizing the squad and ensuring a strong performance in the upcoming matches.
