Club Update: Scott Arfield & Head Coach Recruitment

The club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Scott Arfield for stepping in to take charge of the team for the final three matches of the season.
Scott assumed responsibility ahead of our match against Dundee at extremely short notice, taking on the role with less than 24 hours’ preparation. Despite the challenging circumstances, he approached the task with professionalism, commitment and a real desire to support the club during a crucial period.
His willingness to step up when called upon reflects his character and leadership, and everyone at Livingston FC is incredibly grateful for his efforts across those final fixtures.
Discussions are currently ongoing with Scott regarding a potential combined player-coach role for the 2026/27 season. These conversations have been positive, and we hope to be in a position to provide a further update in the near future.
In addition, we can confirm that there has been a significant level of interest in the club’s vacant Head Coach position, with a high volume of applications received from both domestic and international candidates.
As the recruitment process progresses, we will now set a formal closing date for applications of Friday 22nd May, after which the club will move into the next stage of the selection process.
We thank all applicants for their interest in the role and will provide further updates in due course.
