Aberdeen using Warnock’s interim management spell to look to the future
Aberdeen aim to use the appointment of Neil Warnock as interim manager to make an informed choice on his permanent successor.The 75-year-old has been handed the role until the end of the season after Barry Robson became the fourth manager in four consecutive campaigns to lose his job around this time of the year.
The club say Warnock’s appointment will give them time to complete a detailed review of their football operations, which began at the end of last year and will “inform and support the process” of recruiting a new manager.
Chairman Dave Cormack said: “Ambitious clubs regularly invest in independent advice to support internal coaching, data analysis, recruitment, and medical teams with the goal of improving performance through continuous learning and development.
“The highly experienced team of independent advisors, who do this work with some of the best clubs across the globe, will make recommendations to allow us to understand what we can improve upon in terms of best practice going forward.
“The review will include benchmarking the club against similar teams that currently outperform us in Europe.
“With this work well under way, and due to be completed by early April, we are aiming to have a new management team confirmed by the end of the season.”
