Stephen Robinson 'manages last game Aberdeen manager' after Hibs thrashing

Stephen Robinson has managed his last match as Aberdeen boss after eight months in charge, STV Sport understands.

The Northern Irishman swapped Paisley for Pittodrie when he left St Mirren in March this year to take up the job after Jimmy Thelin was sacked in January.

However, after a poor run of form which included a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Hibs at the weekend, it is understood Robinson has managed his last game at the club.

The former St Mirren and Motherwell manager has won just three of his 12 games in the Premiership this season.

Fans inside Pittodrie called for his sacking during the match and at full time, with the 51-year-old admitting afterwards that the performance was not good enough, but he would carry on as manager until told otherwise.

After a meeting of club officials on Sunday night, including chairman and major shareholder Dave Cormack, it’s understood a decision was made to bring his tenure to an end.

Aberdeen now have two weeks of an international break before their next league fixture away to Kilmarnock to bring in a replacement, with a foreign coach most likely to be appointed.

Robinson said after the game on Saturday: “People don’t want to hear excuses. They want to see action and we weren’t able to give them that tonight.

“I’m not going to speak about individual players, we deserved the reaction at the end. It’s not good enough.

“Ultimately, the blame will fall on me no matter what. I’ve turned situations round but we need everyone to stand up and fight.”
