""In the aftermath of the [Scottish] Cup win in May, I spent a lot of time thinking about my journey with Aberdeen and what the future might hold," said Gunn. "I'm also proud of the player trading model we have built, which has brought significant success in recent years. "But I recognise that both the club and I will benefit from a fresh approach. When I spoke with Dave Cormack and Alan Burrows in the summer, we agreed this was the right time."
""He has been on an extraordinary journey with the club and can be incredibly proud of everything he has achieved," said chairman Dave Cormack of Gunn. "We have shared some wonderful memories together, both on and off the pitch. "Steven and his family will always be welcome at Pittodrie, and we have no doubt he will go on to enjoy great success in the next stage of his career.""
Steven Gunn will leave Aberdeen next month after 25 years at the club, having served as director of football since 2021 and previously holding roles including director of football operations and football co-ordinator. He framed his decision after Aberdeen's Scottish Cup win in May, saying the moment felt right to seek a new challenge and praising the player trading model's success. Gunn agreed with chairman Dave Cormack and Alan Burrows that a fresh approach would benefit both him and the club, and he remained to oversee the summer transfer window to ensure a smooth transition. Aberdeen have started the search for a successor, with David Lawrie acting in the interim while the team sits bottom of the Scottish Premiership without points or a league goal.
