Rothes last night appointed former Buckie Thistle defender Paul Lamberton and Mackessack Park coach Willie Duncan as co-managers following Rab Mulheron’s decision to resign.
Mulheron will become the club’s director of football and vice-chairman after quitting because of health reasons.
Rothes chairman Robbie Thomson said: “Paul Lamberton and Willie Duncan have agreed to be our co-managers with immediate effect. I am looking forward to working with Rab, Paul, Willie and the club coaches.”
Sixty-year-old Mulheron said: “I have been thinking about this change since October. I spoke to the chairman about it at that time, and he asked me to stay on until around Christmas time.
“However, as soon as Paul Lamberton, who in my mind is the ideal replacement along with Willie, became available after getting sacked at Buckie, we decided to make the change now.”
