Aberdeen sack manager Stephen Glass following Scottish Cup defeat

Aberdeen have sacked Stephen Glass as manager after the club crashed out of the Scottish Cup.

A 2-1 defeat to Motherwell at Fir Park on Saturday proved to be Glass’ final match in charge of the Dons.

Glass was appointed at Pittodrie in March 2021, having been the head coach of Atlanta United’s second team in the USA.

The departure of Glass was confirmed by Aberdeen on Sunday morning.

The club said that his coaches, Allan Russell and Henry Apaloo, would also be leaving the club.

They added that the process of appointing a new manager would begin “immediately.”
