Aberdeen sack Robinson after league slump
Aberdeen have sacked head coach Stephen Robinson after a poor start to the season left them second bottom of the Scottish Premiership. The decision followed a 4-0 home defeat by Hibernian, their fourth consecutive loss in all competitions, and raises fresh questions about the club’s recruitment and repeated changes of manager.
Robinson’s tenure lasted less than eight months; across 28 matches, Aberdeen won 11, drew five and lost 12. They have won only three of 12 league games this season and are joint lowest scorers, with just two top-flight clean sheets. Brian Kerr and Stephen Craigan have also left, Stuart Duff is interim manager, and the squad includes 15 summer signings; Aberdeen’s next fixtures are away to Kilmarnock and Rangers before hosting Dundee.
In short
- Aberdeen dismissed Stephen Robinson after four straight defeats.
- The club are second bottom and joint lowest scorers.
- Stuart Duff takes interim charge as the search for a successor begins.
