Aberdeen have sacked manager Stephen Robinson after just eight months in charge.
The Northern Irishman swapped Paisley for Pittodrie when he left St Mirren in March to take the job, after Jimmy Thelin was sacked in January.
Poor run ends with Hibs thrashing
A poor run of form, which included a 4-0 defeat to Hibs at the weekend, has cost Robinson his job. The former St Mirren and Motherwell manager won just three of his 12 Premiership games this season.
Assistant head coach Brian Kerr and first-team coach Stephen Craigan have also left the club.
Duff takes interim charge
Stuart Duff will take interim charge while the club searches for a new manager.
A statement from Aberdeen said: "Following a Board meeting, Aberdeen Football Club has today taken the decision to part company with head coach Stephen Robinson."
The statement confirmed that Kerr and Craigan were leaving alongside him.
A difficult year at Pittodrie
Robinson's departure means Aberdeen will be looking for their third permanent manager of 2026. He arrived with a strong reputation after his work at Motherwell and St Mirren, where he took the Buddies into Europe, but was unable to turn around the Dons' form.
The club will hope a new appointment can arrest the slide and lift them back up the Premiership table.
