Aberdeen's season has descended into chaos following a 3-2 defeat to Dundee that extended their winless run to eight losses in 10 league games. The Scottish Premiership side has been without a permanent manager since Jimmy Thelin's sacking on January 4, with interim boss Peter Leven overseeing just one league victory.

Norwegian manager Eirik Horneland remains the frontrunner to take over, but reports suggest he may not join until the end of the season. Former captain Willie Miller described the atmosphere at Pittodrie as 'depressing,' while sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel continues to lead a rebuild that has seen 31 players arrive in four transfer windows.

The lack of stability has been evident on the pitch, with Aberdeen using more players than any other Premiership side and constantly changing formations and personnel. Former Hearts midfielder Ryan Stevenson argued the club should act now rather than wait, saying a new manager would 'settle everything down' for both players and fans. With Dundee United looming on Tuesday, Aberdeen faces mounting pressure to end their managerial limbo before their season completely unravels.
