## Key points

- Robinson’s departure leaves Aberdeen seeking another manager.
- Pressley and McGlynn are noted domestic contenders.
- Clarke offers major experience, if a move suits him.

## Summary

Aberdeen are searching for their sixth manager since spring 2021 after Stephen Robinson left following a slump in league form. The repeated changes have raised questions about what kind of appointment can restore consistent results and European qualification, last regularly achieved under Derek McInnes.

Dundee manager Steven Pressley and Falkirk manager John McGlynn have been highlighted as domestic candidates, with praise for their teams’ performances, tactical approach and recruitment. Former Scotland manager Steve Clarke is another possibility, bringing extensive club and international experience, though a move north may depend on personal circumstances.
