Livingston set a formal closing date of Friday for applications to become the club’s new head coach. The club reported significant interest, with many applications from domestic and international candidates. Scott Arfield, 37, is in talks about a player-coach role after serving as interim player-head coach following Marvin Bartley’s departure in early May. Arfield oversaw one draw and two defeats after relegation to the Scottish Championship was confirmed. David Martindale began the season as manager, later moving to a sporting director role in February, while Bartley managed 11 games. Bartley and assistant Neil Hastings resigned after being asked to reapply. Arfield indicated he did not plan to apply long-term, while Livingston continued recruitment with Sam Nicholson and Tyrese Sinclair agreeing deals for next season.
"We can confirm that there has been a significant level of interest in the club's vacant head coach position, with a high volume of applications received from both domestic and international candidates."
"Arfield, 37, stepped in as interim player-head coach following Marvin Bartley's departure in early May. The midfielder oversaw a draw and two defeats after Livi's relegation to the Scottish Championship had already been confirmed."
"Bartley said he and assistant Neil Hastings felt they "had no option but to resign" after being asked to reapply for their positions with the club."
"Arfield indicated he did not intend to apply for the job longer-term. Livi have already started recruiting for next season with winger Sam Nicholson, 31, and forward Tyrese Sinclair, 25, having agreed deals."
