Partick began the season under the management of Jackie McNamara. On 29 January 2013, the club gave permission to Dundee United to speak to McNamara about becoming their new manager. The following day McNamara and his assistant Simon Donnelly resigned, to become the new management team at United. Later the same day the club announced that Alan Archibald and Scott Paterson would take over as the club's interim management team. On 22 March, the duo were given the job on a permanent basis signing a one-year rolling contract.
