Chris Wilder interested in Aberdeen job as former Middlesbrough boss awaits Pittodrie approach

Chris Wilder is interested in talking to Aberdeen about their vacant managerial position. The former Sheffield United and Middlesbrough boss is a man a lot of the Red Army would like to see takeover at Pittodrie.

Jim Goodwin was fired following the 6-0 defeat at Hibs on Saturday, and Development Phase Manager Barry Robson has been put in interim charge for Wednesday’s home clash with St Mirren, and will be assisted by the coaching team of Steve Agnew and Scott Anderson. Wilder is unlikely to apply for the job but would be willing to listen if an approach was made by the Aberdeen hierarchy.

The 55-year-old has been out of a job since he left Middlesbrough last year and has already turned opportunities down to make an immediate return. The Englishman has a wealth of experience but really made his name at Sheffield United, where he led them into the Premier League playing an exciting brand of attacking football.
