Dundee appoints Steven Pressley to new contract, citing stability for growth
Steven Pressley has signed a fresh deal to remain Dundee's head coach, emphasizing the need for continuity as the club heads into the new Scottish Premiership season.
Dundee confirmed that Steven Pressley, the club's head coach since June 2025, has accepted a renewed contract designed to provide stability for the team's future. Under his leadership, Dundee secured safety in the Scottish Premiership with an eighth-place finish last season. The agreement comes just before the club's opening match against Celtic, which will be broadcast live on one outlet.
Pressley noted that the deal enables his wife to relocate from Leamington, easing personal pressures and reinforcing his commitment. He reiterated that the club's development strategy relies on consistent improvement rather than specific point goals, and praised the staff's behind-the-scenes work on player fitness and training. The new contract is seen as a cornerstone for Dundee's ambition to build a sustainable, competitive side.
Why it matters
The contract secures managerial continuity for Dundee, a key factor in the club's plan to develop and compete in the Scottish Premiership.
