Marvin Bartley has resigned as head coach of Livingston following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 39-year-old former Hibernian, Livingston and Bournemouth midfielder took charge in January, stepping up from the assistant’s role once David Martindale moved into a sporting director position.<\/p>\n
Coach Neil Hastings has left along with Bartley as veteran midfielder Scott Arfield heads up an interim management team for the three remaining top-flight matches.<\/p>\n
Martindale, who has been at the club since 2014, became manager six years ago and led Livingston back to the Premiership at the first time of asking through the play-offs following relegation two seasons ago.<\/p>\n
However, this season they went on a 33-game run without a victory, with 31 in the league being a record in the Scottish top flight.<\/p>\n
Bartley did lead his side to a 2-0 win at St Mirren two weeks ago, but despite Friday’s 2-2 draw with Aberdeen, their fate was sealed when second-bottom Kilmarnock beat Dundee United the following day.<\/p>\n
The former Queen of the South manager moves on with a record of one win, six draws and four defeats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
