Watch : new Dundee Utd boss targets continued success
Jack Ross keen to get cracking
Last updated 22nd Jun 2022
New Dundee United boss Jack Ross is relishing his first chance to take charge of a team already on an upward curve.
The 46-year-old admits he has had to kick off each of his four previous roles at Alloa, St Mirren, Sunderland and Hibernian by "firefighting" in the wake of his predecessor being sacked.
Ross is pleased, therefore, to be taking the reins at Tannadice at a time when Tam Courts has just been headhunted by Hungarian side Honved after leading United to fourth place in the cinch Premiership.
"It's a nice change," he said. "Alloa were bottom of the Championship, St Mirren were bottom of the Championship, Sunderland had consecutive relegations, Hibs were not in a great place at the time, so it's nice to come in with that bit of stability and not have to firefight right away.
"There are good foundations here and it's up to me to build on that work and improve it. It's a nice feeling."
Ross will be assisted by his long-time friend Liam Fox, who was already in place as part of Courts' backroom staff.
