On one hand, Craig Levein has fond memories of he describes as a “special” four years as Dundee United boss. On the other, going back doesn't always work out and it's a different United who are chasing him now.
The former Hearts and Scotland boss has been lined up for a shock return to Tannadice after the Tangerines pulled the trigger on Liam Fox following Saturday’s disastrous 4-0 collapse away to Ross County. The heavy Highland defeat leaves United rooted to the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table, and they are now looking for their third manager of the season in a bid to beat the drop and a return to the Championship three years after they finally made it back up.
Levein is said to be the No. 1 choice to replace Fox, who worked under him as a coach while Levein was director of football at Tynecastle. Chairman Mark Ogren has returned to America after jetting in for last week’s AGM, while sporting director Tony Asghar sets about appointing a new man in the dugout.
