Next Aberdeen Manager Betting Odds

Aberdeen have relieved manager Jimmy Thelin of his duties after a poor run has seen the club languishing closer to the bottom than the top of the table. They currently sit in eighth place in the Scottish Premiership, having collected just 25 points from 20 games this season, following a dismal run of three wins from 11 games.

The Dons made the worst start to a league campaign in 26 years, losing their first seven matches. Aberdeen currently find themselves sitting in the relegation group and could be playing in the Scottish Championship next season should fortunes not improve. Not a position you would expect to find one of the biggest teams in Scottish football.

Following the news, UK betting sites opened their markets on who will be appointed the next Aberdeen manager. St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson is the early favourite the role, with other familiar names near the top, including Scott Brown and Steven Naismith. Jens Berthel Askou at Motherwell is also an interesting name on markets at top betting apps.

Stephen Robinson The Early Favourite

Stephen Robinson is a name familiar with most Scottish football fans. He's the current St Mirren manager and previously had a successful spell in charge of Motherwell. Indeed, during his time at The Well, he led them to the final of both domestic trophies in the same season for the first time since 1951.

Aberdeen are a much bigger team to manage than St Mirren, so there's reason to believe he could be tempted to jump ship. The odds at most fast withdrawal betting sites certainly suggest he will interest Aberdeen at the very least.

Scott Brown Ready For Premiership Role?

Scott Brown is more than familiar with the Sottish Premiership having captained Celtic and won a total of 22 trophies with the club. Since quitting playing, he has been working his way up the managerial ranks. He started with a spell in charge of Fleetwood Town before moving to his current role at Ayr United.

He has them competing for a promotion spot to the Premiership this season but would likely be intrigued by the Aberdeen role. After all, his last stop was with Aberdeen as a player-coach. After cutting his teeth elsewhere, perhaps he's ready for a bigger club. The odds at football betting sites would suggest so.

Would Askou Consider Jumping Ship?

Prior to June, only the most ardent fans of Scandinavian football - and maybe those based in Norwich - would have heard of Jens Berthel Askou. He had a couple of fruitless season as a player at Norwich outside of a career in Scandinavia. His managerial career went much the same, so it was with some surprise that Motherwell appointed him as coach this summer.

However, the Dane has them flying at present. They sit in fourth, just two points shy of the Old Firm pair and eight points off top. Would he be willing to move on from Motherwell so quickly? He might interest the Aberdeen hierarchy, at least according to the odds at Apple Pay betting sites.

Steven Naismith Available Right Away

The three names at the top of the betting all have jobs that Aberdeen would have to negotiate to release him from. However, for Scotland international Steven Naismith is available, in theory, as he is the current assistant coach for the Scottish national team.

His only previous stint as manager came at Hearts, where he was sent packing at the start of last season, with the club bottom of the table. Whether he would want to miss out on being part of the Scotland World Cup effort this summer would be in doubt. If he could take on the dual role, he could be an interesting contender.
