Stuart Duff will take to the helm in the interim.

Stephen Robinson has been sacked as Aberdeen manager.

The former Northern Ireland international has lost his job following eight months in the post and a 4-0 home defeat by Hibernian on Saturday left him facing severe criticism from fans.

A club statement read: “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.”
