Alness United confirm new manager who was previously in charge of club and Highland League team Strathspey Thistle
North Caledonian League club Alness United have confirmed Robert MacCormack has returned to the club as their new manager.
MacCormack returns to Dalmore Park to take charge of the club for the second time in his career after previously being manager before leaving to become boss at Highland League club Strathspey Thistle in February 2023.
He was manager at Strathspey Thistle for 13 months before stepping down at Seafield Park in March last year.
MacCormack will be joined in the dugout by Paul Sangwin who has been named as first team assistant manager.
Their appointment follows Robert Mitchell standing down as manager at the end of this season when Alness United finished the campaign in sixth place.
A statement from Alness United said: “Robert brings with him a wealth of experience, passion, and a clear vision for the future of Alness United. His commitment to player development, tactical understanding, and strong leadership qualities make him the ideal candidate to take the club forward.
“Joining Robert in the dugout is Paul Sangwin, who has been named as First Team assistant manager. Paul’s energy, commitment and ability to connect with players at all levels will be a key asset as the club looks to build on recent progress and compete with ambition in the seasons ahead.
“Together, Robert and Paul form a dynamic new coaching team with a shared belief in hard work, unity, and attacking football – values that align perfectly with the identity of Alness United.
“The club would like to welcome both Robert and Paul to the Alness United family, and we look forward to an exciting new chapter under their guidance.”
The North Caledonian League season concluded last weekend when Invergordon won the North Caledonian Cup final.
Invergordon also claimed their third North Caledonian League title in four years, winning 20 of their 22 league matches.
Inverness Athletic won a trophy for the first time as North Caledonian League club when they defeated Alness United in the Football Times Cup final in December.
