Billy Davies joins SPFL club in unexpected first-team appointment

Billy Davies has joined Morton in an unexpected move.

The veteran manager has become the Championship club's new technical head coach. 

The former Motherwell and Dunfermline player will work closely alongside manager Dougie Imrie.

“I’m delighted to be joining Greenock Morton and working with an excellent young manager to support him and the club as a whole," the 61-year-old said. "Over the last couple of weeks, I have met with the coard, Chairman and Dougie, all of whom have been extremely positive and ambitious for the future.

"Morton is a club with a huge amount of potential at the heart of the Inverclyde community, and I’m excited for the project ahead.”

Imrie commented: “It’s fantastic to have Billy coming on board.

"His experience speaks for itself, and his influence will help raise the standards across the club. We’re raring to go for the new season.”
