McCann departs Dens Park

Neil McCann has left Dundee FC after a stint as Interim Manager.

The ex Dark Blues winger made his return in April with the side sitting 2nd bottom of the Premiership.

He steered Dundee to safety and they finished in 10th place.

Managing Director John Nelms said “On behalf of the entire Dundee Football Club family I’d like to thank Neil for his interim spell in charge. He came in and did the job we asked him to do. The club once again owes Neil a debt of gratitude. Neil is certainly a credit to Dundee Football Club and Scottish football as a whole.”

McCann said “I’d like to thank everyone at Dundee FC for their hard work in the time I was manager there. It was an honour to become manager of the club where my playing career started and finished and I’m very proud I was able to succeed in keeping them in the Scottish Premiership. I wish them great success in the future.”

Extensive discussions have taken place over the past few weeks over the appointment of a permanent Dundee boss and the process continues this week.
