Stephen Robinson confirmed as Aberdeen manager

Aberdeen have confirmed the appointment of Stephen Robinson as head coach after agreeing a deal with St Mirren to recruit their manager.

The 51-year-old former Motherwell boss and his assistant Brian Kerr have signed contracts until the summer of 2029.

Chairman Dave Cormack said: “There is a strong desire to re-establish a clear identity for our club, to become harder to play against and restore competitiveness in our matches. For those reasons we believe Stephen is the right head coach to deliver exactly that.”

Robinson said: “When this opportunity arose, there was no way I could turn it down. Aberdeen has a tremendous history and there’s no mistaking it is a huge club.

“The facilities and resources that will be at my disposal are excellent and more importantly, the fan base is tremendous so I’m excited to work for a club of this size and strive to take it forward.”
