Aberdeen put Stuart Duff in temporary charge of first-team training while the search for a permanent head coach continues. The club said it had already carried out preparatory work for an appointment. Recruitment remains under way, with the stated aim of choosing someone to lead the football operation forward and deliver the progress expected across it.[1]
Robinson had moved from St Mirren, another Scottish Premiership club, in March on a deal running to the summer of 2029. The 51-year-old Northern Irish coach helped Aberdeen avoid the relegation play-offs last season. His departure comes after roughly eight months in charge. Supporters called for his dismissal during the home match against Hibernian, and he acknowledged afterward that the team’s display had fallen short. Aberdeen’s next league fixture after the international break is away to Kilmarnock.[1]
