St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has agreed to a new contract that will keep him at the club until summer 2027.<\/p>\n
Since taking charge in February 2022, Stephen has led the club to back-to-back top six finishes in his two full seasons in charge, securing the Buddies highest league placings in almost 40 years, as well as returning St Mirren to Europe for the first time since 1987 earlier this year.<\/p>\n
St Mirren Chairman John Needham said: “As a Board we are delighted to get this deal done.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve been making real strides with our strategy to build the club\u2019s strength and stability, and Stephen has clearly played a key role in that.<\/p>\n
“Extending his contract at this time reflects our ambition to maintain the levels of success we\u2019ve enjoyed on the park over recent seasons.”<\/p>\n
Stephen Robinson said: “I\u2019m very happy here.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve had massive success over the last two and a half seasons. That\u2019s something we\u2019ve put a lot of work into and want to continue to build.<\/p>\n
“In terms of the academy and the club as a whole, there\u2019s a lot of good work that\u2019s been done. I\u2019ve got a brilliant working relationship with Jim Gillespie and Keith Lasley and we all want to push the club forward.<\/p>\n
“I felt it was the right time to commit and hopefully keep moving in the right direction. We\u2019ve had a few sticky results over the last few weeks where things haven\u2019t gone our way, but we\u2019ve got a lot of belief in the club, what we do and I\u2019m happy to try and push the place forward.”<\/p>\n
Stephen added: “It\u2019s important for a club of our size to make forward thinking decisions and forward planning and I\u2019m very appreciative of the Board\u2019s support.<\/p>\n
“We feel like we can grow the club and keep pushing it forward. There are lots of good ideas and there\u2019s a medium-term vision as well as obviously turning results around and moving back up the table.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
