Aberdeen are on the hunt for a new manager following Stephen Robinson’s sacking and some familiar faces are being linked.
Alongside ex Hibs star Brian Kerrr and Stephen Craigan who made up his coaching staff, the Dons have opted to make a change, sitting 11th in the Premiership after a 4-0 thumping off Marink Reedijk’s side last time out. Former Easter Road defender Gary Caldwell and ex Motherwell boss Michael Wimmer are two names linked so far.
A club statement reads: “Following a Board meeting, Aberdeen Football Club has taken the decision to part company with Head Coach Stephen Robinson. Stephen leaves the Club alongside Assistant Head Coach Brian Kerr and First Team Coach Stephen Craigan. We thank them for their efforts during their time at Pittodrie and wish them every success for the future.
“Preparatory work to support the appointment of a new manager has been undertaken, and the recruitment process is ongoing. The focus will be on identifying the right candidate to lead the Club forward and deliver the progress expected across all areas of the football operation. Stuart Duff will assume interim charge of first team training while the Club continues its search for a new Head Coach.”
