St Johnstone fires manager Craig Levein after four straight losses

St Johnstone has made the decision to part ways with manager Craig Levein after a disappointing start to the season. Levein, who took over the managerial role in early November of the previous year, had a challenging tenure, managing to keep the team from finishing in the bottom two of the Premiership last season. However, the current season has seen the team struggle significantly, with four losses in their first five league matches and a total of four consecutive defeats across all competitions. The situation escalated during a recent match against Hibernian, where a segment of the away supporters expressed their dissatisfaction by chanting for Levein's departure. Despite the mounting pressure and the team's poor performance, Levein remained optimistic about his ability to turn things around, citing improvements in the players' performances. The decision to dismiss Levein reflects the club's urgent need to address their poor form and regain competitiveness in the league. The management will now be tasked with finding a suitable replacement who can inspire the team and improve their standings. The club's leadership is likely aware that continued poor results could jeopardize their position in the Premiership. As St Johnstone moves forward, the focus will be on rebuilding and finding a new direction. The upcoming matches will be crucial for the club as they seek to recover from this rough patch and restore confidence among players and supporters alike.
