Aberdeen have confirmed that Barry Robson will lead the club’s interim coaching team following Jim Goodwin’s departure.
Goodwin was sacked as Aberdeen manager following Saturday’s 6-0 defeat against Hibernian at Easter Road.
Robson, Aberdeen’s development phase manager, is set to take charge of the Dons for their midweek meeting with St Mirren.
The former Scotland international will be assisted by Steve Agnew, who worked with Robson at Middlesbrough, and Aberdeen development phase coach Scott Anderson.
Agnew was most recently working as assistant head coach to Steve Bruce at West Bromwich Albion before leaving when Bruce was sacked in October.
The club has said an update on the search for a new manager will be given “in due course.”
The Club has put in place an interim coaching team to oversee first team matters.
Led by Barry Robson, the coaching team will comprise Steve Agnew, a highly experienced coach who worked with Barry at Middlesbrough FC, and Development Phase coach, Scott Anderson.
