Overview
- Aberdeen announced on Monday that head coach Stephen Robinson had been sacked following a board meeting, with the club confirming the decision in an official statement.
- The dismissal follows Saturday’s 4-0 home loss to Hibernian and a run of poor results that has left Aberdeen 11th in the Scottish Premiership and at growing risk of relegation trouble.
- Assistant head coach Brian Kerr and first-team coach Stephen Craigan also left the club, and Stuart Duff will assume interim charge of first-team training while a permanent manager is sought.
- Critics and former players have blamed a contested summer squad overhaul and perceived weak recruitment, placing wider scrutiny on the board, chairman Dave Cormack and CEO Adrian Bevington.
- Aberdeen face a short window to stabilise results after the international break, with their next league match away to Kilmarnock on November 21 posing an immediate test for the interim setup and the club’s recruitment drive.
