Brian Rice resigns as Hamilton manager
The Accies boss has stepped down from his role at the club
Brian Rice has resigned as the Hamilton Academical head coach.
The 57-year old joined the club in January 2019 and helped secure their Premiership status for two consecutive seasons.
The Accies were relegated at the end of the last campaign and have had a winless start to life in the Championship.
Chairman, Allan Maitland, said: “Today, without any previous indications, we received a letter of resignation from Brian Rice.
“Whilst it has come as a surprise, we now fully understand his reasoning for leaving at this time, and have, with regret, accepted his resignation.
“It has been an extremely difficult 18 months dealing with all the issues surrounding the pandemic, including the recent relegation from the Premiership, and there’s no doubt that it has taken its toll on Brian, his staff and everyone connected to the club.”
