Pressley named Dundee head coach after Brentford exit

Dundee have appointed Steven Pressley as the Scottish Premiership club's new head coach.

The 51-year-old former Scotland centre-half last week left Brentford, where he had spent four years as the Premier League club's head of individual player development, saying it was time for a "new challenge".

Dundee say Pressley "emerged as the standout candidate" after "a thorough and comprehensive search process" to find a successor to Tony Docherty, who was sacked despite leading his side to safety from relegation on the final day of the season.
