"He has demonstrated he can consistently deliver strong results, punching well above the resources he's had to work with, during the last eight years in Scottish football and proven he can build resilient, competitive teams with solid foundations. There is a strong desire to re-establish a clear identity for our club, to become harder to play against and restore competitiveness in our matches."
"Stephen Robinson has been confirmed as the new head coach at Aberdeen, joining from Scottish Premiership rivals St Mirren. The 51-year-old has agreed a contract until the summer of 2029 and takes assistant Brian Kerr with him to Pittodrie."
"Robinson joined St Mirren in February 2022 and steered them to League Cup glory in December, following three successive top-six finishes. However, the Paisley club currently sit 10th, one place and five points below Aberdeen and just three ahead of Kilmarnock in the relegation play-off spot."
Stephen Robinson, 51, has been appointed as Aberdeen's new head coach, signing a contract until summer 2029. He joins from Scottish Premiership rivals St Mirren, bringing assistant Brian Kerr with him. Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack praised Robinson as a proven leader with a strong track record of overachieving, noting his ability to deliver results while working with limited resources over eight years in Scottish football. Robinson led St Mirren to League Cup victory in December 2023 and achieved three consecutive top-six finishes. Aberdeen triggered a compensation clause to secure his release from his St Mirren contract. The appointment comes after Aberdeen sacked Jimmy Thelin in early January, with Peter Leven serving as caretaker. The club aims to re-establish identity and competitiveness under Robinson's leadership.
