Aberdeen are on the lookout for a new manager for the second time in the space of a year after the axe finally fell on Jim Goodwin.
The Irishman was given his marching his orders by chairman Dave Cormack following yet another tanking – this time the 6-0 defeat to Hibs, which came on the back of a humiliating defeat to Darvel. It's the third time the businessman has pulled the trigger on the manager since taking over in 2019 after sacking Derek McInnes and Stephen Glass. The Dons, who paid compensation to St Mirren to sign Goodwin, will have to fork out thousands after sacking the 41-year-old.
All eyes are now on who succeeds Goodwin in the Pittodrie dugout. There are few standout candidates to take over from the former Alloa Athletic manager which may explain the length it took the Dons board to come to a decision. The Record Sport team has looked at who could get the gig in the north east.
