Forfar assistant steps down

Station Park assistant manager steps down due to business commitments

Forfar boss Dick Campbell has lost the services of his long-time assistant manager and twin brother Ian due to increased business commitments.

The brothers have split after six years together at Station Park, with the Loons boss also going into the new season without sons Ross, who was released at the end of the season, and Iain who joined Cowdenbeath this week.

Manager Campbell is not bringing in a replacement and will continue with his backroom staff headed by John Young and Barry Sellars, as well as goalkeeping coach Rab Douglas.

The Forfar manager said: “Things are certainly going to be different next season due to the changes. Ian is not only a very close brother but a very good coach as he showed both here and at Brechin.

“He made his mind up during last season as his recruitment business is expanding but continued to help out until the end of the season.”

Chairman Alastair Donald said: “Ian has made a massive contribution to the club since joining in the spring of 2008. I look forward to welcoming him back here in the new season as a supporter.”
