Jim Goodwin joined the Dons on 19 February 2022.

The former defensive midfielder, who spent his playing career in both Scotland and England, earning one cap for his country, began his coaching career with St Mirren in a player-coach role.

He became manager of Alloa Athletic in 2016 leading them to promotion to the Scottish Championship in 2018 and subsequently maintaining their Championship status the following season.

Jim re-joined St Mirren as their new manager in the summer of 2019 and under his guidance, St Mirren have made excellent progress in recent seasons and are currently in their best run of form in the league since the 2017/2018 season.

With over six years of managerial experience, taking charge of 200 competitive games, Jim has built a reputation for being a strong leader with exceptional man management skills. He has also demonstrated a good track record in recruiting well, building a team with proven experience in the league, whilst unearthing emerging talent.

A manager who is proven in providing a pathway for young players, Jim shares the Club’s ambition to be the best developer of talent whilst ensuring we achieve our objectives on the pitch, competing and winning at the highest possible level, both domestically and in Europe.
