Kilmarnock Management Stresses Need for Change After Dismissing Manager
KILMARNOCK, Scotland: The management of Scottish club Kilmarnock has announced the dismissal of manager Stuart Kettlewell in a move following a series of negative results, stating that “change is required to escape the current situation.”
The 41-year-old manager was relieved of his duties after the team recorded a 10-match winless streak, including 8 defeats, leaving the team in second-to-last place in the Scottish Premiership standings.
Meanwhile, assistant manager Stevie Frail has also decided to leave his position at Rugby Park, according to the United News Network (UNN).
In a parallel move, the club has appointed former athlete Chris Doolan, who previously managed Partick Thistle, to take temporary charge of the team in preparation for the next stage of the competition.
It is noted that Kettlewell, who took over at Kilmarnock as a replacement for Derek McInnes following the latter’s move to Hearts, had a positive start to the 2025-2026 season. However, results have slumped lately; after securing 6 wins in 13 matches, the team suffered six consecutive defeats.
Following a run of draws and continued losses, Kilmarnock remains three points clear of Livingston, who have a game in hand. These are the key details of the report provided by the United News Network.
