Aberdeen sack head coach Stephen Robinson following league slump

Aberdeen have confirmed the departure of head coach Stephen Robinson after a challenging eight-month tenure at Pittodrie. The decision comes in the wake of a 4-0 home defeat to Hibernian, a result that leaves the club sitting second bottom in the Scottish Premiership with only three victories from 12 league fixtures this season.

Brian Kerr and Stephen Craigan have also departed the club, with Stuart Duff stepping in to take interim charge of the team. During his time at the helm, Robinson oversaw 28 matches in all competitions, recording 11 wins, five draws, and 12 defeats.

A difficult period at Pittodrie

The club's recent form has been particularly concerning, marked by four consecutive losses across all competitions. Club legend Willie Miller did not hold back in his assessment of the current situation, describing the recent performance as "utterly embarrassing" and suggesting the manager appeared to be "a man lost."

Reflecting on the squad's struggles, Miller added: > "The players aren't up to scratch, not up to playing at this level and dealing with high-ish expectations" — Willie Miller

Following the international break, the Dons face a difficult run of fixtures, starting with an away trip to Kilmarnock on 21 November. Chief executive Adrian Bevington is now tasked with overseeing the search for a new manager to help steer the club away from the relegation zone.
