Vicente Besuijen reckons Barry Robson has shown he can be a top boss by putting Aberdeen back in prime position for a European return.
The interim manager, after impressing, is poised to be given the manager’s job until the end of the season. The Pittodrie hierarchy have just gone through a thorough interview process, speaking to a number of candidates including Ricardo Rodriguez and Jess Thorup, but look set to stick with Robson until the summer.
The former Dons star has been promoted from under-18 coach and bringing in his experienced former Middlesbrough coach Steve Agnew has proved to be something of a masterstroke. Aberdeen have won their last three games, with the last their 3-0 victory over Hearts that moved them to within four points of their third-placed rivals. The Dons board are keen for the team to maintain their current momentum and to keep the pressure up when they head to St Johnstone in the Premiership this weekend.
