Ross County have parted company with manager Tony Docherty by mutual consent after Saturday’s 6-0 Scottish Championship defeat by Raith Rovers.<\/p>\n
The Dingwall side – relegated from the Premiership after a play-off loss against Livingston last season – are bottom of the second division, two points behind Queen’s Park in ninth.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s dismal result in Kirkcaldy was a third straight Championship defeat for County, who have won just twice in the league all season.<\/p>\n
Docherty had been dismissed by Dundee as recently as May after a 10th-place finish in the top flight. <\/p>\n
He departs along with assistant Callum Davidson, leaving County searching for their third permanent manager of the season.<\/p>\n
Previous boss Don Cowie left after a draw and two defeats began the Championship season, before John Robertson took interim charge for one game.<\/p>\n
“We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to both Tony and Callum for their efforts during their time at the football club,” a statement from the club said.<\/p>\n
“We will provide a further update to supporters in due course.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ross County have parted company with manager Tony Docherty by mutual consent after Saturday’s 6-0 Scottish Championship defeat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-315539","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
