Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes has promoted former St Johnstone fans’ favourite, Paul Sheerin to the role of assistant manager.
Sheerin was already on the backroom staff at Rugby Park – as he was at Aberdeen – and McInnes believes the one-time Arbroath head coach is the man to replace new Dundee manager, Tony Docherty, as his sidekick.
McInnes has brought in another old team-mate, this time from his Dundee United days, as first team coach.
Alan Archibald was previously the lead development coach at Motherwell.
McInnes said: “Paul has been a key member of my team for a number of years which makes him the natural choice as assistant manager.
“It’s important to freshen the backroom team after a certain period of time, but he will also allow us to keep a valuable level of continuity.
“Alan is someone I also know extremely well, and he’ll add a fresh perspective to the team.
“His track record of player development aligns with our long-term ambitions here at the club.”
