Club Statement

Cowdenbeath FC and Maurice Ross have agreed to part ways in order to allow the process of building for next season to begin. The Club wishes to thank Maurice for all his hard work and the total commitment he has shown in his efforts to develop a squad which could take us forward in our determination to return to the SPFL at the earliest opportunity. He leaves behind foundations upon which we can and must build.

We wish him and his family all the very best for the future confident in the knowledge that he has a long career in football ahead of him.

We can advise that Colin Jack has accepted an invitation to take up the post of interim manager.

Club Chairman Donald Findlay said, “I am saddened to see Maurice leave the Club. I am personally grateful for his constant striving to create a better future for us. I know from first-hand experience that he is an outstanding coach and a thoroughly genuine and decent human being. It has been a true privilege working with him and to be able to regard him as a friend. I wish him every success in the future."



MAURICE’S STATEMENT

"I am immensely proud of my time at Cowdenbeath. The circumstances we have worked under these last 17 months have been quite incredible. It has made me appreciate the work that goes into keeping clubs like ours afloat. I have forged many wonderful relationships and I will always look back at my time in Fife with a warm heart.

The time has come to move on and allow the club to prepare for next year under new stewardship. The building blocks are there to develop this young squad.

I wish my chairman Donald Findlay nothing but success. A more passionate, loyal and warm chairman you could ever ask for.

Thank you to everyone for the unwavering support my staff and I have been given.

Thank you."
