Just heard about this, Surprised

Raith Rovers Football Club can confirm that Sacramento Republic, has activated the financial release clause in Neill Collins’ contract.

As a result, he will depart the club with immediate effect.

A statement from the Board of Directors reads:

“Last Sunday, we were informed that Sacramento Republic were prepared to activate the compensation clause in Neill’s contract to appoint him as their manager.

We met with Neill to express our desire to retain him as manager, but he made it clear that his ambition has always been to return to the United States, and this opportunity was too good to turn down for him and his family.

We would like to thank Neill for his dedication and commitment during his time at Raith Rovers, and we wish him every success in California with Sacramento Republic.

The process of appointing a new manager is already underway. In the meantime, Colin Cameron and John Potter will oversee first-team duties on an interim basis.”
