Ross County announced that manager Stuart Kettlewell will stay in his position despite the club suffering relegation from the Scottish Championship. The 41-year-old manager received the backing of the board following a meeting to discuss the future of the Highland side, per Sky Sports.
Club officials stated that they believe Kettlewell is the best person to lead the team as they prepare for life in League One. The manager previously served as co-manager during the club's 2018-19 Championship winning season and took sole charge in 2020.
County finished at the bottom of the Championship table after a difficult campaign. The club now intends to begin a restructuring process ahead of the new season, according to STV News. Kettlewell will oversee squad changes as the team aims for an immediate return to the second tier. No details regarding contract extensions for the playing staff have been released yet. The board urged supporters to remain behind the manager during the transition period.
