Pathway to first team coach at Dundee United Football Club.

If he is doing his Pro Licence everything is fine but i do not think we should pay for anyone else to do it as its around 10K and we are skint.

And yet folk complain about Courts being the cheap option? ****ed if you do and ****ed if you don't it seems 🤔

A coach at Scottish Premiership level must at least be doing his Pro Licence to be a Head Coach.He can run Kelty Hearts, our U18's or a reserve team with a UEFA A licence but he cannot be in charge of Dundee United unless he gets them relegated.

You mentioned neither of the other two had their Pro License. I was asking what the issue was with that as only the Head Coach needs his Pro License as you've just said.

As for the other two, Fox has been first team coach at Hearts & assistant manager at Livi, both in the Premiership, so I'm assuming he has the neccesary qualifications to be carrying out the role he has at Utd, no?

Either way, if Utd want these guys running first team matters and they aren't qualified, then it's up to Utd to get them qualified.

Although its not the easiest thing to find about mate it does appear according to an Edinburgh paper that Fox either has or is in the process of attaining his UEFA pro licence.
I think its fair to say as you did allude to that he is the more experienced of our three first team coaches.I think it takes around two years to get it and it includes overseas visits etc which Covid may have held up.

If you weren’t such a condescending chunt I would provide a response to your question.

If in doubt just become abusive. Nice one.

Cheers mate,its a rags to riches tale of how someone managed to go from a Motherwell high school as a qualified YOUTH coach to the first team at Tannadice.
A truly remarkable achievement by Adam.I wonder how much his pay rise was?,doesna matter we are loaded.

100% guilty and very very proud to highlight it when it was swept under the Utd Mad carpet.
