Eirik Horneland has emerged as a leading candidate for the managerial position at Aberdeen FC. The Norwegian coach is currently a free agent following his recent departure from Saint-Etienne, a club in the French Ligue 2.
Horneland’s Coaching Experience
At 50 years old, Horneland boasts an impressive coaching background. He spent three successful years with SK Brann in Norway, where he achieved notable results:
- Secured a second-place finish in Norway’s top division.
- Successfully led the team to promotion.
- Won the Norwegian Cup with Brann.
His experience also includes managing Rosenborg, recognized as Norway’s premier football club, and his hometown team, Haugesund. This diverse coaching experience makes him a strong contender for the Aberdeen role.
Aberdeen’s Search for a New Manager
The club is currently in the advanced stages of their search for a new manager. This process began following the dismissal of Jimmy Thelin at the beginning of last month. Horneland’s background and expertise may align well with Aberdeen’s ambitions moving forward.
Given his proven track record and recent availability, Eirik Horneland could play a vital role in shaping the future of Aberdeen FC.
