Aberdeen sack head coach Stephen Robinson after Hibs loss

Manager leaves after fourth straight loss

The Dons parted ways with the 51-year-old manager immediately after their home game against Hibernian ended in a heavy defeat. Robinson admitted the performance was not good enough but stated he would continue until told otherwise by the board. This dismissal follows four consecutive league defeats and leaves the team sitting second bottom of the table. The club has scheduled an international break before their next fixture away to Kilmarnock on November 21.

Interim charge begins after staff departures

Both Brian Kerr and Stephen Craigan have departed the club, leaving Stuart Duff to take interim charge of the first team. In March, Robinson departed St Mirren to sign until summer 2029 following their three straight top-six placings. In his total tally across 28 matches spanning every competition, he leaves behind 11 victories, five draws and 12 losses. The squad is described as low on confidence and holds the joint lowest scoring record in the league.

Former players question squad recruitment

Willie Miller, the club's hero, called Saturday's outcome utterly embarrassing on BBC Sportsound, stating that Robinson looked like a lost man to his listeners. Former captain Miller noted that 15 players have left while 15 new ones arrived creating a huge turnaround of the squad. Alex McLeish added that recruitment is absolutely key and questioned if the new signings can get Aberdeen rolling again. Under the current regime, just goalkeeper Marius Muller and full-back Nesta Guinness-Walker have appeared in all league matches.
