There has been a lot of upheaval at Dundee United in the close season, which makes them one of the more fascinating clubs to look at ahead of the cinch Premiership campaign beginning in less than two weeks time. United finished fourth in Scotland’s top flight in 2021/22 under the tutelage of Tam Courts in his maiden season as manager.
It gained them entry into the Europa Conference League and cemented the club’s status as a top-six team once again after too many years either in the bottom half of the division or in the Championship.
Nevertheless, it feels like the Tayside outfit are currently in a state of flux. Courts has since left the club, on mutual terms, and has taken up an intriguing role in Hungary with Honved.
Former Hibs and Sunderland manager Jack Ross is his replacement. Some would argue United have upgraded, given Ross guided Hibs to Hampden on a number of occasions and finished third in his last full season with the Edinburgh club.
