Coaching career

edit

After retiring, MacKenzie was hired as U-17 coach at Dumbarton. In December 2007, it was revealed that MacKenzie had agreed to become assistant coach to his former teammate, Brian Reid, at Ayr United.[1] Together the duo helped Ayr United get promoted to the First Division for the 2010-11 season.

In January 2013 MacKenzie joined Partick Thistle as U-20/reserve team manager. He left this position in October 2018.[2][3] Ahead of the 2020-21 season, MacKenzie was reunited with Brian Reid as the duo took over at Albion Rovers. In March 2023, they were sacked after almost three years at the club, following a defeat to Bonnyrigg Rose, which dropped Albion to last place in the table.[4]
