Motherwell Football Club is today delighted to confirm that manager Stuart McCall has signed a new two-year contract.
The former Scotland midfielder has overseen a period of almost unparalleled success since arriving in December 2010, reaching the top-six in the last three seasons, two semi-finals, a Scottish Cup Final as well as Champions League and Europa League qualification following last season’s third place finish.
The Steelmen currently sit second in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League, with seven games to go until the end of the campaign.
With his contract due to expire at the end of the current season, the Board have been extremely keen to extend the stay further.
And, late this afternoon, the 48-year old pen to paper on deals that will keep them at Fir Park until the summer of 2015.
