Aberdeen chief executive Alan Burrows has insisted "a huge amount of work" is going into finding the perfect candidate to replace Jim Goodwin in the Pittodrie hot seat.
It's been six weeks since Goodwin was axed following a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Hibernian on January 28, and many Dons fans have been concerned about the "deafening silence" from the board about the plans to appoint a permanent boss. Barry Robson, Steve Agnew and Scott Anderson have been tasked with leading the club on an interim basis.
And in that time they have picked up three wins and two defeats from five games, with a section of the Red Army keen to give the former Scotland midfielder a chance longer-term. While others have been tempted by speculation linking well-traveled Spanish coach Ricardo Rodriguez to the Granite City. It remains to be seen what route the Aberdeen hierarchy will take however Burrows' tweet replying to a supporter's query on the managerial hunt has suggested they are remaining tight lipped on exact candidates until they can confirm their man.
He wrote: "You’ll understand we can’t say too much until we’re in a position to confirm something Graeme. Lots of it (including a fair bit that isn’t accurate) makes it way into the media, which is normal. But be assured a huge amount of work is going into it."
Aberdeen have two weeks between their last game against Dundee United and their next against Hearts, which could prove crucial in the Dons quest to secure European football.
