The Dons languish in 11th spot in the Scottish Premiership amid a miserable slump in form which culminated in the most recent 4-0 hammering from Hibernian last weekend.

That result left the club with just three victories from their opening 12 league fixtures.

And after the hierarchy met at Pittodrie to discuss Robinson's role, the axe was wielded and the head coach's time at the club was brought to an end.

The club confirmed the news on their website earlier this evening with a statement.

Following a Board meeting, Aberdeen Football Club has today taken the decision to part company with Head Coach Stephen Robinson. 🔗 https://t.co/r3LCQWvxO5 https://t.co/8Z6s3y1eZZ

It read: "Following a Board meeting, Aberdeen Football Club has today taken the decision to part company with Head Coach Stephen Robinson.

"Stephen leaves the Club alongside Assistant Head Coach Brian Kerr and First Team Coach Stephen Craigan. We thank them for their efforts during their time at Pittodrie and wish them every success for the future.

"Preparatory work to support the appointment of a new manager has been undertaken, and the recruitment process is ongoing. The focus will be on identifying the right candidate to lead the Club forward and deliver the progress expected across all areas of the football operation.

"Stuart Duff will assume interim charge of first team training while the Club continues its search for a new Head Coach."

Robinson lasted eight months in charge at Aberdeen having taken the position back in March.
