Dodds and McCann Sign 6-Year Contracts with Kilmarnock
6 Jan
Summary
- Neil McCann named new Kilmarnock manager, Dodds assistant.
- Both have agreed to contracts extending until summer 2028.
- The team is currently second bottom in the Scottish Premiership.

Neil McCann has been appointed as the new manager of Kilmarnock FC, bringing Billy Dodds on board as his assistant. Both have committed their futures to the club, signing contracts that extend through to the summer of 2028. This long-term deal suggests a significant investment in their vision for the team.
McCann takes over from Stuart Kettlewell, who was dismissed following a disappointing run of six wins in 25 matches. Kris Doolan had been overseeing the team on an interim basis, securing only one point in the last four games. McCann and Dodds have prior experience working together, having been part of Barry Ferguson's interim management team at Rangers last season.
The Rugby Park side is currently in a precarious position, sitting second from the bottom of the Scottish Premiership. Their next challenge comes on Saturday when they face Livingston. The club will be hoping the new management duo can quickly turn their fortunes around and steer them away from the relegation zone.
