ian1964 10,720 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Ross County have sacked manager Willie McStay after just nine games in charge at Victoria Park. The decision was made after Saturday's goal-less draw at home to the First Division's bottom side Stirling Albion. The former Celtic coach failed to win a single game in league and cup competition following his appointment in November last year. The club's director of football, George Adams, has taken temporary charge of team matters. McStay replaced Adams' son, Derek, as County manager following his predecessor's move to assist Colin Calderwood at Hibernian. A recruitment process by the board to identify and appoint a new manager will begin straight away Ross County statement The 49-year-old had recently returned to Scotland after a spell managing Hungarian side Ujpesti Dozsa, with whom Celtic were developing a working relationship. But his departure from the Dingwall club comes after a post-match discussion with chairman Roy McGregor in the wake of the draw with Jocky Scott's Albion. It left McStay with a league record of four draws and three defeats with the two Scottish Cup ties against Dundee United making up his nine-game tenure. A statement on the County website said: "The board would like to express their thanks to Mr McStay for his commitment and effort during his time at the club and wish him well for the future. "A recruitment process by the board to identify and appoint a new manager will begin straight away. "In the meantime, the club's director of football, George Adams, will assist with the running of first team affairs." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/ross_county/9396209.stm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
