DUNDEE have confirmed that Neil McCann has left the club following a spell in charge as Interim Manager.
The Sky Sports pundit joined the Dens Park outfit last month and led them to safety after recording two wins and a draw in their final five games.
Back to back victories over Motherwell and Kilmarnock and a home draw against Ross County were enough to retain the Dee's Premiership status for another season.
The club revealed in a statement on Monday that 'extensive discussions have taken place over the past few weeks and the process continues this week' as they search for a new permanent boss.
"I’d like to thank everyone at Dundee FC for their hard work in the time I was manager there," said McCann.
"It was an honour to become manager of the club where my playing career started and finished and I’m very proud I was able to succeed in keeping them in the Scottish Premiership. I wish them great success in the future.”
Managing Director John Nelms said: “On behalf of the entire Dundee Football Club family I’d like to thank Neil for his interim spell in charge. He came in and did the job we asked him to do.
"The club once again owes Neil a debt of gratitude. Neil is certainly a credit to Dundee Football Club and Scottish football as a whole.”
