Jimmy Thelin has been appointed as the new Aberdeen manager - but won't take charge until the summer.
The Swedish boss - who will leave current club Elfsborg to move to Pittodrie - will take over in early June.
“The Board felt that Jimmy’s style and playing philosophy, his ability to continually develop excellent players within a successful player trading model and his experience at taking a team and having them compete at the top end of the table all really matched the criteria we had set out at the start.
“I wanted to be sure I was making the right step in my career, particularly as this will be my first time managing outside of Sweden. At Elfsborg we work hard together to compete at the top level and it is our intention to achieve the same at Aberdeen. “I'm looking forward to working with Peter and the players and I hope they get the win at Hampden this weekend."We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
