Former Dundee United boss Robbie Neilson has been named new head coach of USA outfit Tampa Bay Rowdies.
The 43-year-old had been out of work since being dismissed by Hearts in April, ending his second spell as Jambos boss after three years at the helm.
Neilson also had a stint in charge of MK Dons and won the Scottish Championship title with Dundee United in 2019/20 before returning to Gorgie.
It’s about winning football matches and historically, I’ve managed to do that at the clubs I’ve been at.

Neilson told the Rowdies’ official website: “When it comes down to my team, work rate is the most important thing. Humility, honesty, and work ethic are the three things that I always focus on getting out of the clubs I have worked at.
“Ultimately, it’s about winning football matches and historically, I’ve managed to do that at the clubs I’ve been at.”
