In Scottish football often a manager doesn't have much of a shelf life, could be in two or three jobs just in a season, this must have a impact on their mental health, not just them but also their family.
In past decades the same manager was in a job for a long time , recently a manager's performance is under greater scrutiny.
The longest serving manager was Dick Campbell at Championship side Arbroath, before that you'd have to go back to the late great Craig Brown, who joined Andy Roxburgh's team when they took Scotland to the 1991 World Cup in Italy.
He had more success this time at the 1992 euros in Sweden after succeeding Roxburgh, Brown took charge in 71 games from 1993 to 2001 making him Scotland 's longest serving manager.
Half of the top flight teams have changed their figurehead at some point in the session, last season Motherwell and Dundee United changed their manager twice in the one session ,that means there have been a total of eight instances of the teams making changes.
Weeks into the new season Lee Johnson was the first Scottish manager to be relieved of his duties at Hibs. St Johnstone boss Steven Maclean was the bookies favourite to lose his job before the season got underway.
Rangers sacked Michael Beale just 10 months in charge, the side failed to qualified for the Champions League after a heavy defeat to PSV Eindhoven, at that time they were seven points behind Celtic.
Steven MacLean was sacked as the club went bottom of the league, with just four points from nine fixtures, and without a league win.
Most recently Ross County have parted ways with Malky Mackay after a nine game winless run, he joined the club in the summer of 2021 and led them to a top finish in his first season.
A new programme is in place run out of the Hampton clinic, called Support within Sport, has been running for a number of years based on an initial survey of players to ascertain the scale of mental health issues within Scottish football and what services they felt would be most beneficial. This provides a mental health support service for all SPFL and SWPL players aged 16 and over , coaching/backroom staff at no cost to the individual.
Access is via a confidential dedicated phone line or by app, the individual or their family can make the initial contact.
Calls are taken by an experienced sports medicine doctor who may take on the support themselves or refer to the most appropriate member of the team including clinical psychologists, consultant psychiatrists, counsellors including those experienced in addiction. There is no waiting time to be seen and the programme has team members all over Scotland.
