Aberdeen have sacked head coach Stephen Robinson with the club sitting 11th in the Scottish Premiership. It follows their 4-0 loss to Hibernian on Saturday, which was their fourth league defeat in five games. The Dons have lost seven of their 12 Premiership matches this season and lost 1-0 to Rangers in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals.
Fans called for his sacking during the defeat, with Robinson admitting the performance was not good enough. Robinson joined from St Mirren in March, signing a deal until 2029. He saved the Dons from relegation play-offs last season and led the Buddies to three consecutive top-six finishes, plus the League Cup trophy in December.
Aberdeen have the international break before their next league fixture away to Kilmarnock on November 21 to bring in a replacement. A club statement thanked Robinson and his staff for their efforts and wished them success for the future. Stuart Duff will assume interim charge of first team training while the club searches for a new head coach.
Sky Sports' Kris Boyd stated the regime hasn't worked out as hoped, noting Robinson kept Aberdeen in the league last year but they are miles off expectations currently.
