Craig William Levein (born 22 October 1964) is a Scottish professional football player and manager. He is currently the Director of Football at Heart of Midlothian. During his playing career he played for Cowdenbeath and Heart of Midlothian. He won 16 caps for Scotland and was part of his country's 1990 World Cup squad. Levein was forced to retire early from playing football due to injury, but then became a manager. At club level he has managed Cowdenbeath, Heart of Midlothian, Leicester City, Raith Rovers and Dundee United. Levein was appointed Scotland manager in 2009, but he left this position after the team failed to win any of its first four matches in 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification.
Playing career
Early career
Levein was born in Dunfermline and attended Inverkeithing High School, where he was in the football team alongside another future Scottish international footballer, Gordon Durie. He was a supporter of Raith Rovers. His early football career saw him turn out for Dalgety Bay, Leven Royals and Inverkeithing under-16s. At the age of 15, however, he gave up football for a year, only resuming when his brother, who played for junior club Lochore Welfare invited him to training there. Levein subsequently signed for Lochore and after trials with several senior clubs he finally joined Cowdenbeath in 1981. He quickly established himself in the first team and soon became a target for larger clubs.

St Johnstone boss Craig Levein has been sacked - who will be club’s next manager? | Hotline Live
Craig Levein has been SACKED by St Johnstone after four defeats on the spin.
The McDiarmid Park club have announced the decision in a short statement with the Perth side picking up just one league win from their first five games.
They sit tenth in the Premiership standings ahead of Kilmarnock and Hearts - who have both underperformed this campaign to date with European football in the early part of the season taking its toll.
Daniel Caw is joined by Daily Record’s Keith Jackson, Sunday Mail’s Scott McDermott and Craig Swan live from Celtic Park on the Hotline LIVE podcast.
