4 hours ago Chris Burke to depart coaching role
Kilmarnock Football Club can confirm that Chris Burke has departed his role as head of development/Under-19s coach as he wishes to pursue a new opportunity.
Everyone at the club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Chris for his outstanding service, dedication, and professionalism both on and off the pitch since joining as a player in 2017.
From scoring memorable late goals, sensational free-kicks, to helping us qualify for Europe and win the Championship, he has played a key role in developing our young players and embodying the standards we strive for every day.
Chris also led our young side to Scottish Youth Cup success at Hampden last season.
We wish Chris every success in his next chapter and thank him for all he has given to Kilmarnock FC.
Speaking upon his departure, Chris said: “Kilmarnock has been such a special part of my life since the day I arrived in 2017. I’ve had some incredible memories here, from moments on the pitch to working with the next generation of players.
“It’s been a privilege to represent the club and to coach within an environment that means so much to me.
“I want to thank the fans, staff, players and everyone connected to Killie for their support over the years.
“I’ll always be grateful for the experiences and friendships I’ve made, this club has been a special part of not only my life but also my family’s, we will never forget how welcome we’ve been here and I’ll continue to wish the club every success for the future.”
With Chris’s departure, applications are now open for the role of head of development/Under-19s coach.
