Donald Mackay, (born March 19, 1940 in Perth), is a Scottish former football player and manager.
[edit] As player
He was a goalkeeper and played for Forfar Athletic, Dundee United, and Southend United during his playing career.
[edit] As manager
After a spell coaching Bristol City youth team between 1974 to 1978, he began his management career in Nørresundby. He returned to Scotland in 1980 when he was appointed manager of Dundee, winning promotion to the Scottish Premier League with the club in his first season. Mackay eventually left the club in 1983 to manage a side in Denmark. His spell in Denmark was brief, however, as he soon joined Coventry City as assistant to Bobby Gould. He replaced Gould as manager three months later following a string of bad results. Mackay saved Coventry from relegation, but resigned his position the following season with the club once again struggling.
He went on to manage Blackburn Rovers and Fulham, and later moved back to Scotland where he managed Airdrieonians.
Latterly he has been employed as the Chief Scout for Middlesbrough
