Season summary

Dundee United finished the previous season in fourth place which allowed them to enter the third qualifying round of the Europa Conference League. United began the season under the management of Jack Ross who was appointed on a two-year deal following the departure of Tam Courts.[1][2] Ross was sacked on 30 August after just seven matches, following his side's 9–0 loss to Celtic.[3][4]

Following the dismissal of Ross, the club's assistant coach Liam Fox was given the reigns to take over, signing a two-year deal.[5][6] However, after failing to improve the club's position in the league, Fox was also relieved of his duties as manager in February 2023 with sporting director Tong Ashgar also stepping down from his role at the club.[7][8]

On 2 March, former Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin was appointed as the club's new manager initially on a short-term deal until the end of the season.[9][10]

Dundee United's relegation to the Scottish Championship was confirmed on the final day of the season following a defeat to Motherwell. Despite dropping to the second tier, Goodwin signed a new two-year deal to remain as manager in May 2023.[11][12]
