Barry Robson gets Aberdeen job on a permanent basis as boss signs extended deal

Barry Robson, the manager of Aberdeen, has agreed to a new two-year contract that will keep him in that position.

He now has a two-year contract that will keep him with the team through the 2024–25 campaign. Also helping him till then is his assistant Steve Agnew, who has given him a lift.

He was named Premiership Manager of the Month and orchestrated the club’s first victory at Pittodrie over the Ibrox team since 2018 with a 2-0 victory over Rangers, reports Live Football Scores Today.

“We are happy to announce the appointment of Barry as men’s first team manager,” stated chairman Dave Cormack. Barry has been instrumental in putting into practice a holistic approach at Cormack Park, where youth academy and first-team coaches and staff collaborate closely on a club-wide approach to player development, deliver a consistent playing philosophy from the academy to the first team, and uphold and develop the player pathway to first-team football. Barry has not only produced excellent results on the pitch in recent months.”

“He recognised the importance of surrounding himself with experience to help him improve, and we are delighted that Steve Agnew has agreed to become permanent Assistant Manager.” While clearly pushing for European football for the Club, Barry’s focus now will be on the recruitment process for next season.”
