Information About ™Craig Levein |
|
As a player for Scottish Heart Of Midlothian F.C. he was a Scotland international, earning 16 caps and represening is country in the 1990 World Cup , during a career punctuated by two separate serious knee ligament injuries, which eventually forced him into early retirement in 1995. Without such misfortune it is likely Levein would have garnered considerably more international caps and, probably, a career in the English top flight. His first managerial job was with Scottish Football League club Cowdenbeath F.C. but after the departure of Hearts manager, Jim Jeffries, he returned to Tynecastle Stadium . His time in charge of Hearts was highly successful, where he guided them to third place in the SPL in two successive seasons and thus guided them into European competition. His impressive record in Scotland caught the attention of Leicester City F.C. who appointed him as manager on 19 October , 2004 . However after a poor start to the 2005-06 Season , which left the club languishing third from bottom in the Championship relegation zone, he was sacked as manager on 25 January , 2006 . He is now considering becoming the manager of Hearts, his former club after Graham Rix was fired by the chairman. |
