St Johnstone have parted ways with manager Craig Levein following a string of four consecutive defeats that have left the club in relegation trouble. Levein, who helped the team avoid the drop last season after taking over in November, saw his side struggle this term, with just one win in five Scottish Premiership matches, placing them 10th out of 12 teams.
Fans voiced their displeasure during Saturday’s 2-0 loss to Hibernian, calling for Levein’s exit, and the club responded by sacking the former Scotland and Leicester boss on Tuesday. In a statement, St Johnstone thanked the 59-year-old for his efforts and promised further updates.
Levein, a seasoned manager with stints at Hearts, Dundee United, and the Scotland national team, was unable to replicate last season’s late survival push, leaving St Johnstone in serious danger as they look to appoint a new leader.
