Brian Kerr Promoted to Assistant Manager at St Mirren

Brian Kerr has been appointed as the new assistant manager of St Mirren, following the departure of Diarmuid O'Carroll to take charge of Newcastle United's Under-21 team. Kerr, who has previously managed Albion Rovers and East Kilbride and served as head of first-team transition at St Mirren, expressed excitement about his new role and the opportunity to work closely with manager Stephen Robinson. Robinson praised Kerr's experience and readiness to step into the assistant role, ensuring a smooth transition for the team. O'Carroll, who joined St Mirren in February 2022, thanked the club for his time there and expressed confidence in its future success. The team's recent victory over Hearts has placed them in a favorable position, and Robinson highlighted the importance of staff contributions to player development. St Mirren is now looking to fill the head of first-team transition role vacated by Kerr.
