Aberdeen's search for a permanent head coach has faced a setback due to what chairman Dave Cormack described as unforeseen circumstances. The club aimed to appoint a successor to Barry Robson during the international break but has now pushed back the timeline. Cormack stated that while the process is advanced, the board must not rush or compromise on the right appointment for the long-term future of the club.
Interim manager Peter Leven will continue to lead the first team for the upcoming Scottish Premiership fixtures. The club hierarchy remains in discussions with preferred candidates but has not disclosed the nature of the specific complications. According to BBC Sport, the board is prioritising a thorough recruitment process over a quick resolution. Aberdeen currently sits in the bottom half of the table and seeks stability following a period of inconsistent results. Fans have been asked for patience as the directors complete their final evaluations of the remaining short-listed applicants.
