In the past year since Jimmy Thelin's appointment as Aberdeen's manager, he has navigated a rollercoaster first season, reflecting on both successes and challenges. Thelin, previously successful at Elfsborg, emphasizes his growing understanding of the significance of Aberdeen as a club and its impact on the community. His calm demeanor on the sidelines contrasts with the intense passion of the fanbase, which he aims to reciprocate through the team's efforts on the pitch. As Aberdeen approaches a Scottish Cup semi-final against Hearts, Thelin's insights reflect a commitment to both personal and team development.
"I have enjoyed it a lot. It feels like a quick year and exciting times, some really good moments, some challenging parts. But the most important thing is you feel yourself develop, you feel the team is developing and you have a good journey together."
"You guess before, but I think you always have to live it, feel it. When you arrive you can feel how important it is for the people in and around Aberdeen."
"You feel a responsibility, like you want to give something back. That is what we are trying to create - when we are playing they should feel like everybody is giving everything they have."
