Neil Lennon signs two-year deal to remain as Dunfermline manager

Dunfermline Athletic have confirmed that Neil Lennon will remain as their manager next season.

The former Celtic and Hibs boss has signed a two-year deal at East End Park after guiding them to Championship survival.

Lennon took charge of the Fife club in March and lost just two of their last six league games as they finished seventh.

He will now remain in the dugout, along with his assistant Iain Brunskill, until the summer of 2027, with preparations now under way for next season.

Dunfermline confirmed the news on Thursday.

Chairman and CEO David Cook commented. “This is an important moment for Dunfermline Athletic FC. Confirming the appointment of Neil is a clear statement of our intent to build something meaningful and competitive.

“His leadership during the latter part of last season was outstanding, and he brings a wealth of experience, professionalism, and presence that has already made a significant impact around the club.

“None of this would be possible without the ongoing support of James and Evan. It would be remiss of me not to highlight their passion for moving the club forward.

“We know the past few seasons have been challenging — on and off the pitch.

“Entertainment has been in short supply, but our supporters have stuck with us through some difficult times. We aim to repay your loyal backing by competing at the right end of the Championship, giving you a team to be proud of.”
