Leven Reasserts Control at Aberdeen, Welcomes Pfannenstiel in Dugout

The interim coach says team selection is his decision during a manager search with no timeline.

Overview

  • Peter Leven says he has the final say on tactics and selections and denies any power struggle with sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel.
  • Lutz Pfannenstiel joined Leven in the Ibrox dugout and is expected to assist again, which Leven calls a helpful and temporary arrangement.
  • Leven publicly backs goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov as a “top, top goalkeeper” after errors against Rangers, though he says a selection call is still to be made.
  • The interim boss stresses defensive improvements around Mitov, urging more blocking and stronger set‑piece work as part of a collective fix.
  • Pfannenstiel leads the ongoing manager search with no set timeframe, with Uwe Rosler linked and playing down interest and Markus Gisdol reported as keen for talks.
