Current Motherwell Manager
| Manager | Appointment Date | To | Days in Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stuart Kettlewell | 11 Feb, 2023 | 18/03/2025 | 766 |
Stuart Kettlewell is the current boss of Motherwell after being appointed in February 2023. He replaced Steven Hammell, whose managerial time at Fir Park could have gone better or lasted longer as his playing career for the North Lanarkshire club. Kettlewell is the 34th manager since 1910, and it remains to be seen if Kettlewell can get the SPL victories the club are so desperately after. If another change comes, the leading bookmakers will have all the next Motherwell manager odds.

Who Will Be The Next Motherwell Manager
A list of the potential candidates should the job become available today based on previous people appearing in the betting odds when the position was vacant last time, to others who have a profile that would fit the club in terms of the last few managers they have had.
Tommy Wright

On previous occasions, the former St Johnstone and Kilmarnock manager has been mooted for the Motherwell job. The Northern Irishman had been away from the dugout since the end of 2021 before being appointed Northern Ireland Under 21 manager in August 2023.
Owen Coyle
Image: skysports
The much-travelled manager was back in Scotland at Queens Park before returning to the Indian Super League in 2023 to again take charge of Chennaiyin FC. Previously he has been quoted in the betting market for the Motherwell job.
Simo Valakari

Simo Valkakari played more than 100 games for Motherwell over four years between 1996 and 2000. The Finnish-born midfielder moved into football management in 2010 and has since been managing clubs in the country of his birth. He said he would love to return to Motherwell one day to manage the club.
Kevin Thomson

In 2022 when Graham Alexander left Motherwell, Kevin Thomson was one of 50 applicants who had reportedly applied for the Fir Park vacancy. As we know, he didn't get the gig, but his name is another who regularly features in the betting odds for Scottish football jobs. In 2021 he was named as manager of League 2 side Kelty Hearts and guided them to the title. However, he resigned at the end of that season, but we suspect he will get a higher-profile position sooner rather than later.
How To Bet On The Next Motherwell Manager
Placing a bet on the Next Motherwell Manager is as easy as picking a contender from the bookie's published list of potential candidates. You must find which bookmaker offers odds and decide how much you want to bet.

FAQ
Next Motherwell Manager FAQs
Who Was The First Manager Of Motherwell
In 1910 John Hunter was made manager of Motherwell and stayed at the club until after the second world war. He managed over 1000 games winning just under half of them.
Which Manager Has Won The Most Trophies With Motherwell
When in charge, George Stevenson(1946-1955) won the Scottish Cup, Scottish League Cup and promotion as champions of Scottish Division B. As a player, he won Motherwell’s only Scottish League Championship in 1932.
Which Manager Has The Best Winning Percentage At Motherwell
In the 1981-82 season, David Hay won 66.66% of his 39 games and took Motherwell into the Scottish Premier Division as champions. This was even more admirable as it was his first managerial job, having only finished playing in 1980.
Which Manager Has The Worst Winning Percentage At Motherwell
Just two years after the triumphs of David Hay’s team Bobby Watson was appointed at the start of the 1983/84 season. However, the Premier Division team struggled, and Motherwell was relegated. His record was W4 D7 L25 for a poor 11.11% win rate.
Who Is the Shortest Serving Motherwell Manager
Jim Gannon served for just 181 days between June and December 2009. There was discord between Gannon and the board, partly involving the manager's reluctance to sign a contract.
In more recent times, Stephen Hammell lasted just two days longer than Gannon, which for a Motherwell Hall of Famer must have been a colossal disappointment.
