We are delighted to announce the appointment of Danny Lennon as Airdrieonians manager.

Having worked across all four senior leagues, Danny has a wealth of managerial experience in the Scottish game, and a list of achievements to match.

A spell as acting head coach at Airdrie in 2016 means that the 56-year-old is already familiar with the club, and we are pleased to be able to welcome him back to the Albert Bartlett Stadium.

A gifted midfielder, Danny’s career began at Hibernian, though it was spells at Raith Rovers and Partick Thistle he would be best remembered for – a goal for the Kirkcaldy side against German giants Bayern Munich being a particularly memorable moment in Danny’s playing career.

Taking his first step into management with Cowdenbeath in 2008, Danny was an instant success, leading the Blue Brazil to successive promotions despite operating with limited resources, and earning a move to top-flight side St Mirren.

Danny’s success continued in Paisley, leading the Buddies to their first ever League Cup in 2013.

After a spell as caretaker manager of the Scottish U21 side, Danny took the reins at Alloa Athletic where he won the 2014/15 Championship play-offs.

Danny’s spell at Airdrie followed, taking over in a temporary capacity after head coach Eddie Wolecki-Black had suffered a stroke. Missing out on the top four by a single point, Danny moved on and spent the following five years at Clyde, leading the Bully Wee to promotion in 2019.

Since leaving Clyde in October 2022, Danny has worked for the Scottish Football Association and coached in Malaysia, and now brings his vast experience back to Scotland to become the new manager of Airdrieonians.

We’re excited to welcome Danny to the club as the outstanding candidate in our recent search for a manager, and we’re sure he will continue to build success here in Lanarkshire.

Welcome to the Diamonds, Danny!
