World Sports · 05:01:05 - Saturday, 14 November 2026

Aberdeen FC are considering several candidates for their vacant managerial position, with Steven Pressley, John McGlynn and Steve Clarke all reported to be in the frame.

According to BBC Scotland's Andy Campbell, the three names have been mentioned in connection with the Pittodrie hotseat as the club seeks a permanent successor.

Pressley, a former Hearts and Celtic defender, has previous managerial experience with Falkirk, Coventry City and Carlisle United. McGlynn has earned praise for his work at Raith Rovers, leading them to promotion and a Challenge Cup triumph. Clarke, currently Scotland national team manager, would represent a high-profile appointment but his availability remains uncertain given his international commitments.

The search continues as Aberdeen aim to appoint a manager capable of returning the club to European competition and challenging the Old Firm dominance in Scottish football.
