SNS GroupDon Cowie has left Ross County by mutual consent after admitting the club’s start to the Championship season “hasn’t been up to standard”.
The Staggies were relegated from the Scottish Premiership last season and are winless from their first three games in the Championship.
County suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to Partick Thistle on Saturday, with the club confirming Cowie’s departure on Sunday.
He told the club’s website: “Unfortunately, the start to our Championship season hasn’t been up to the standard to which we all expected.
“After conversations with the board, we have mutually agreed that it is in the best interest of the club that I would leave my position as manager.
“I believe the club has a squad of players capable of achieving its goal of returning to the Premiership and I wish them the very best for the season ahead.
“In two spells I have spent over 15 years playing, coaching and managing this fantastic football club and it has been an absolute privilege.
“A big thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me throughout my time at the club and in particular Roy Macgregor and Steven Ferguson who I’m very grateful to for the opportunity I was given.
“Wishing the Staggies every success moving forward.”
