Former Scotland international Steven Pressley, Raith Rovers boss John McGlynn and former national team manager Steve Clarke have emerged as leading candidates for the vacant Aberdeen managerial position, according to BBC Scotland.
The Pittodrie club are searching for a new permanent manager following a period of transition. Pressley, who previously managed Fleetwood Town and Carlisle United, has been out of work since leaving Cove Rangers in 2023. McGlynn has earned plaudits for his work at Raith Rovers, guiding the Kirkcaldy side to promotion and a Challenge Cup triumph. Clarke, who led Scotland to their first major tournament in 23 years at Euro 2020, is currently without a club after departing the national team role.
BBC Scotland reporter Andy Campbell notes all three names have been "mentioned in despatches" as the Dons hierarchy evaluate their options. The appointment will be crucial for a club aiming to challenge for European qualification in the Scottish Premiership.
