Eirik Horneland has emerged as a leading candidate for the manager's job at Aberdeen. The Norwegian is a free agent after leaving the position of head coach of French Ligue 2 club Saint-Etienne last weekend. Prior to his two years in France, the 50-year-old had three successful years in charge of SK Brann in his homeland. He secured a second-place finish in Norway's top division for Brann after getting them promoted and also won the Norwegian Cup with them.
First of all, we want the players coming back from international matches unscathed, which is the most important thing for us now that we've got a few injuries to contend with. So whatever sort of squad we had for the Kilmarnock game, I wouldn't mind having roughly the same again, but we can only deal with what we have and what we want to do, and we just want to play as strongly as we possibly can.

If the rumors concerning the Braves and Danny Lehmann hold up, this might be the only thing keeping us from figuring out who the next manager in Atlanta will officially be. With that being said, we know how this organization is (usually) tight-lipped so we absolutely won't know for sure until the Braves actually announce it (or one of the national reporters somehow ends up with the scoop).
Rangers fans seem united in their shock at Gerrard's decision but split about whether it is a good or bad thing for the club, with chairman Patrick Stewart, sporting director Kevin Thelwell and the new American owners also under scrutiny. Brian: Hugely disappointed with Gerard's decision. I felt energised at the prospect of him becoming manager after the debacle of Russell Martins tenure, when I'd just lost all hope and belief in the club.
It was quite a moment: The favorite son and the face of the dynasty, back in the Bay to save the organization and that faded black-and-orange tradition he helped build. So, a year later, what have we actually seen change? Not much, if we're being honest. The Giants are still a thoroughly .500 outfit, staring up at the blinding lights of the Dodgers and the perpetually contending Padres.
