Aberdeen Women looking for new manager as Colin Bell leaves role after two games

Aberdeen Women are looking for a new manager after Colin Bell stepped down from the role after just two games.

The former Champions League-winning boss, who was appointed as head coach in June, has cited personal reasons as being behind his decision to leave the SWPL club.

Aberdeen have suffered two heavy defeats in the league this season with a 7-0 loss to Hibernian at the weekend following a disastrous opening day 11-0 trouncing from Rangers.

Bell joined the Dons from the South Korea national team and also had a spell in charge of the Republic of Ireland.

The 62-year-old former Leicester player won the Women’s Champions League with German side Frankfurt in 2015.

Aberdeen confirmed on Monday that he would be leaving the club with youth academy director, Stuart Glennie, set to take charge on an interim basis.

Glennie will be in the dugout for the game against Montrose on Wednesday.

A statement released on the club’s website said: “The process to find a permanent successor is already underway and a further update will be provided in due course.

“The Club would like to thank Colin for his hard work over the summer and wish him well in the future.”
