Spanish boss Ricardo Rodriguez has emerged as the frontrunner for the Aberdeen hot seat - and is keen on the Pittodrie hotseat.
The search for Jim Goodwin 's successor is continuing with chief executive Alan Burrows hard at work after leaving Scottish Premiership rivals Motherwell for the Dons, with Barry Robson leading the side as it stands. The interim boss has helped get Aberdeen back on track with the club stabilising in the top six of the table when the club appeared to be in freefall after heavy defeats to Hearts and Hibs either side of the Scottish Cup humiliation against Darvel.
Despite positives from Robson's tenure so far, the Dons have to get the next appointment right after Goodwin and Stephen Glass' failures and could look east at a man with significant J-League success. Record Sport understands that the former Urawa Red Diamonds boss has made it clear to the club’s top brass that he is serious about taking the top job in the Granite City.
