Incoming Aberdeen chief executive Alan Burrows insists the next man in the dugout must be able to wear a “heavy jacket.”
The former Motherwell chief announced he was stepping down from his role at Fir Park in January. Earlier this month, it was confirmed that he’d be making the move to the north east to take the reins at Aberdeen, working alongside chairman Dave Cormack. Burrows will also take part in the recruitment process to hire a new manager after Jim Goodwin was sacked on January 29 following a 6-0 battering by Hibs.
Barry Robson remains in interim charge and will be calling the shots for this weekend’s Premiership clash at home to Livingston. The search continues for Goodwin’s permanent successor, and after getting a glimpse of what his new employers are all about, Burrows believes the successful candidate must be comfortable dealing with the expectation placed on his shoulders.
