Dundee United's Jim Goodwin has admitted it's crazy to think about his current position as the club's longest-serving manager since Jim McLean.

What's behind Goodwin's success?

Goodwin has now surpassed Craig Levein and Peter Houston, preparing to hit three years and two months in the Tannadice hot seat.

Current standing

As of 28 Jun 2026, Dundee United stands 9th in the Premiership, with 33 points from 33 games, having scored 34 goals and conceded 53. | Category | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 9th | | Points | 33 | | Goals scored | 34 | | Goals conceded | 53 |

Upcoming matches

The team welcomes back Craig Sibbald and Johnny Russell for the upcoming derby, with Owen Stirton also returning after being recalled from Airdrie. Goodwin claimed: 'It's crazy to think about. There's not much in terms of longevity for managers in the modern-day game.'

Looking ahead

Dundee United is 37 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian, but Goodwin remains optimistic about the team's future, having taken them back into the Premiership and into Europe last season. The United manager owes a debt of gratitude to chairman Mark Ogren for sticking by him after he failed to keep United in the Premiership.
