Stephen Robinson has been removed as head coach of Aberdeen following a period of disappointing results in the Scottish Premiership.
The Paisley-based club sits 11th in the league table after their match against Hibs ended in a 4-0 defeat.
Robinson's tenure at Pittodrie lasted eight months, during which he secured just three victories from twelve league fixtures.
He arrived at the club in March after previously managing St Mirren and leading them to three consecutive top-six finishes alongside a League Cup triumph last season.
A record of eleven wins, five draws and twelve defeats across all competitions marks Robinson's departure from the fold.
Stuart Duff has been appointed as interim manager while the board searches for a permanent replacement ahead of the international break.
The next fixture for Aberdeen is an away trip to Kilmarnock scheduled for November 21.
Robinson had attempted significant changes at the back, chopping and changing between four and five defenders during his time in charge.
Despite these efforts, the team managed only two clean sheets throughout the entire season.
Only goalkeeper Marius Muller and full-back Nesta Guinness-Walker have featured in every single league game under Robinson's guidance.
Former Aberdeen captain Willie Miller noted that the squad currently lacks confidence and is among the joint lowest scorers in the division.
Miller described the incoming manager as inheriting a group of 15 players who are not yet up to the required level.
The board acknowledged having worked hard over recent years to restore Aberdeen to competitive standards after winning a cup two seasons ago.
Robinson left St Mirren for Aberdeen with a contract agreement extending until the summer of 2029.
Of the numerous recruits brought in during the summer transfer window, few have integrated successfully into the first team.
Alex McLeish, a former defender and current board member, highlighted the difficulty of rebuilding the squad to its previous heights.
The club faces an international break before travelling to face Kilmarnock at Hampden Park next week.
Robinson's appointment came after he saved the Dons from relegation play-offs in his previous season with St Mirren.
His time at Pittodrie has concluded without achieving the consistency expected by the supporters and management.
The interim period will see Stuart Duff navigate the remaining fixtures until a new permanent manager is confirmed.
Aberdeen's position in the league remains precarious as they trail significantly behind the top four teams.
The club must now address their scoring issues while trying to stabilise the defensive structure before the winter break.
No further details were provided regarding the specific reasons for Robinson's dismissal beyond the poor league performance.
