Aberdeen have sacked head coach Stephen Robinson after a poor run of form, with the club sitting second bottom of the Scottish Premiership. The decision follows a 4-0 home defeat to Hibernian on Saturday, their fourth consecutive loss in all competitions.
Robinson, 51, leaves after eight months in charge, having won only three of 12 league matches this season. His overall record across 28 games stands at 11 wins, five draws, and 12 defeats. Assistant coaches Brian Kerr and Stephen Craigan have also departed, with Stuart Duff placed in interim charge.
Club legend Willie Miller described the Hibernian defeat as "utterly embarrassing" and said Robinson resembled "a man lost". Miller also criticized the squad, stating the players "aren't up to scratch" for the level of expectation at Aberdeen. Former defender Alex McLeish highlighted recruitment concerns, noting the summer overhaul brought 15 new signings but only goalkeeper Marius Muller and full-back Nesta Guinness-Walker have featured in every league game.
The sacking marks the sixth permanent manager since chairman Dave Cormack took control in November 2019. Chief executive Adrian Bevington and sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel now face the task of appointing a successor to halt a slide toward relegation. Aberdeen's next matches after the international break are away to Kilmarnock on 21 November, away to Rangers on 24 November, and home to Dundee on 28 November.
