Dundee Utd boss Peter Houston brings forward Tannadice exit Dundee United manager Peter Houston has left the club by mutual consent. Houston, 54, had announced he would leave Tannadice in the summer after deciding not to extend his contract, which expires in June. However, the club said on Monday that Houston had brought forward his exit, with the search for his successor under way. "He leaves with the thanks of everyone at the club and best wishes for the future," United said in a statement. Houston, who has been in charge at Tannadice since December 2009, won the Scottish Cup months after replacing Craig Levein, making him the second United manager to win the trophy.
