Neil Warnock leaves Aberdeen after a month in charge

Interim Aberdeen manager Neil Warnock is leaving the club.

The announcement that he is stepping aside comes minutes after their win against Kilmarnock.

He took over 33 days ago after the sacking of Barry Robson.

He said: “I was honoured to lead Aberdeen for a short period to help Dave and the board get themselves into a position where they could get closer to making a permanent appointment.

“It goes without saying that I had hoped I could’ve collected a few more league wins along the way, but I am also delighted to have helped the club into the Scottish Cup semi final. I hope they can now go on and lift the trophy.”

“Ronnie and I can’t thank the fans enough for their support while we’ve been here and we wish the club and the supporters all the very best for the remainder of the season and for the future.”

Chairman Dave Cormack added: “The club would like to thank both Neil and Ronnie Jepson for their efforts.

“With the search for a new manager at an advanced stage, Peter Leven will assume control of all first team matters until the process is concluded.”
