CRAIG LEVEIN
Craig Levein
Craig Levein took over at Tannadice on 30 October 2006 on a two and a half year deal.

Craig Levein gained 16 full international caps for Scotland before injury brought a premature end to his playing career.

He soon made a name for himself in a coaching capacity and had highly successful managerial spells at Cowdenbeath and Hearts, where he took the Club to third in the SPL whilst implementing major cost reduction measures.

He left Hearts for Leicester City and then was assisting Raith Rovers on a non contract basis. Craig had an agreement with the Kirkcaldy club that meant he could leave if a suitable offer be received.

Levein turned 2006-07 around and although the Club finished in the bottom six, progress was evident.

The 2007-08 season saw Levein combine his role as Manager with the position of Director of Football.

A good league campaign was rewarded with a fifth place finish and in March 2008 United contested the League Cup final with Rangers, cruelly losing the match after a penalty shoot-out
