The ultimate Aberdeen next manager verdict as our writers pore over 5 key candidates’ credentials

Record Sport writers have assessed potential candidates for the vacant Aberdeen managerial position following the dismissal of Stephen Robinson. The sack came after a heavy defeat against Hibs, making Robinson the fifth permanent manager fired by the club since Derek McInnes left in 2021. Chairman Dave Cormack and the Pittodrie board are now searching for their next appointment to reverse the team's downward trend.

The writers suggest Falkirk manager John McGlynn and current Dunfermline boss Neil Lennon as leading domestic options to take over. Additional names put forward include England coach Anthony Barry, Rob Edwards, Scotland manager Steve Clarke, and Dynamo Dresden manager Thomas Stamm as alternative choices.
