St Johnstone have parted company with manager Craig Levein following a run of four consecutive defeats.
The 59-year-old former Hearts, Leicester, Dundee United and Scotland boss succeeded Steven MacLean in early November last year and helped the Perth side avoid finishing in the bottom two of the Premiership last season.
However, Saints have lost four of their five league matches this term, and each of their last four in all competitions. A section of the travelling support chanted “Craig Levein, we want you to go” in the closing stages of last Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Hibernian, and they have now got their wish.
The board of directors can announce that St Johnstone Football Club has today parted company with manager Craig Levein.
A further update will follow in due course.
