Stuart Kettlewell has left his position as Motherwell manager after two years in the Fir Park dugout. The club’s board revealed on Monday they had “reluctantly accepted” his resignation with the Steelmen currently sitting fifth in the Premiership. Kettlewell cited personal abuse that was affecting his family to the point they didn’t want to attend games as the reason for his departure. Motherwell are without a win in their last four games, including back-to-back defeats to bottom side St Johnsto
