Terrors exit for Brewster
29 Oct 2006 - 17:42:04
Dundee United have announced that manager Craig Brewster has left the club following a terrible run of results.
Brewster left Inverness Caledonian Thistle to take charge at Tannadice in January 2006 but guided the Terrors to just three wins in 30 matches.
United director Derek Robertson told the club's official website: "Following detailed discussions, it was agreed that it was now in the best interests of Dundee United, Craig Brewster and (assistant-manager) Malky Thomson to part on amicable and mutually respectful terms.
"We are hugely disappointed that Craig Brewster's latest spell with the club should end in this way.
"However, the future of Dundee United is dependent on securing a position based on results and all parties recognise that results and performances have been less than acceptable and less than Dundee United supporters deserve.
"Craig Brewster leaves the club with his integrity intact and we would like to take this opportunity to wish him and Malky every success in their future careers."
Press reports have suggested United have already lined up Raith Rovers manager Craig Levein as a replacement for Brewster, although Dunfermline Athletic are also believed to be keen to secure the services of the former Hearts and Leicester City boss.
