The Appointment of Steven Pressley as Head Coach of Dundee

  • Steven Pressley has signed a two-year contract with Dundee following the departure of the previous coach.
  • He aims to achieve a top-6 finish in the Scottish Premiership and success in cup competitions.
  • Pressley has extensive experience working with various clubs and is ready for new challenges.

This was reported by BBC, Sky Sports.

Steven Pressley, the new head coach of Dundee, believes he has returned to Scotland with greater experience and knowledge.

Pressley signed a two-year contract with the club on June 2, taking over responsibilities after the departure of Tony Docherty, who left the team after finishing 10th in the last season.

The 51-year-old coach understands that his appointment has elicited mixed reactions among fans. He stated that if fans are looking for a coach with a history of winning trophies, he does not fit that description. Pressley believes he possesses other skills that meet the club's requirements.

According to him, he has come to Dundee with a smaller ego but more knowledge and experience. Pressley hopes that the team can achieve a top-6 finish in the Scottish Premiership and success in cup competitions.

Team Goals for the New Season

Pressley believes that winning matches is crucial for the club's success, as without this, decisions regarding a change in management can be swift. He emphasized that the team's progress should be assessed not only by results but also by improvements in their play.

He has extensive experience in coaching staff roles, including positions at clubs such as Falkirk, Coventry, and Fleetwood Town, as well as in Cyprus with Paphos. Before returning to Scotland, he worked at Brentford, where he was responsible for player development.

Pressley noted that success can take many forms, but for fans, the main thing remains winning games. He is ready for the challenges that await him in his new role.
