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.
