Jimmy Thelin has been officially appointed as Aberdeen’s new manager.
Along with his assistants Christer Persson and Emir Bajrami, the 46-year-old will depart Elfsborg in June to begin his roles at Pittodrie for the 2023–24 season. The Swede, who will depart the Allsvenskan club after six years in charge, has a contract that the Dons have not formally revealed. He had previously managed FC Ljungarum and Jönköpings Södra IF. This is going to be his first role outside of Sweden.
Peter Leven, Aberdeen’s interim manager, will serve as a member of Thelin’s backroom staff after overseeing the team through the end of the current campaign. With five games left, the Dons are five points clear of the relegation play-off spot in the Premiership and will play Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-finals on Saturday.
