Dundee United can announce Tony Asghar has stepped down from his role as Sporting Director.

Following more than four years at the Club, Tony has decided to leave his post to allow the new First Team Manager to be appointed within a revamped structure within the Football Department.

The Board and Chief Executive Luigi Capuano will now lead the process of hiring a new Manager and hope to provide an update this week.

The club will make no further comment at this time.
