Aberdeen have sacked manager Derek McInnes, bringing to an end his eight-year stay at Pittodrie.

It is understood the decision was taken at a board meeting on Monday to move on from McInnes, who took over at the Dons in March 2013.

Aberdeen have been on a well-publicised dip in form, which has seen them score just once in their last 10 games and with only one win in that period.

They are three points off third-placed Hibernian, however the Hibees have a game in hand.

McInnes helped bring the club their first piece of silverware in nearly 20 years with the League Cup triumph in 2014 and delivered second-placed finishes in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

However, the Dons have slipped to fourth in the last two seasons and may finish there again this season. There has also been a growing discontent among the club’s supporters at their results and style of play, with fans venting their concerns on social media as they remained locked out of stadiums.

Former Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes.

McInnes and his assistant Tony Docherty were both under contract until the summer of 2022 but now the Dons must find a new manager for the first time since Craig Brown stepped down and took a seat on the board.

The ex-Rangers and Dundee United midfielder turned down the chance to join the Gers and Sunderland in 2017, opting to stay at Pittodrie.

Aberdeen face United this weekend in their final game before the split. Third and fourth place this season will gain entry to the Europa Conference League, with the winner of the Scottish Cup taking entry into the qualifying rounds of the Europa League.

However, should the winners of the competition already qualified for Europe, the fifth placed team will also qualify for the Conference League.

The Dons have made Europe in every full season under McInnes, dating back to the 2013-14 season.

However, since their triumph over Caley Thistle in 2014 at Parkhead, they have not been able to add any more silverware. They lost three major finals under McInnes, all against Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic.

It's not shite....He's gone

And Enzo Maresca is our new manager?

I'm not going to believe anything until it's announced by the club. 

Even then I might not believe it, because our club lies like fuck about everything. 

[manboobs109]

Bit tight, could've furloughed him.

Cheers like fuck and shit yourself over the next potential appointment

[paddy]

pleased.

[Ernie McCracken]

Sad to see him go, but it needed to be done. The last 2 years have been brutal and we've only been going one way. 

But I'm still not renewing Dave. 

[MightyDons]

If true, I'm disappointed that it's come to sacking him. I'd have thought he'd take the decision to move on.

New manager comes in and wins the cup in his tenth game. Absolute scenes ?

Aye I'm nae so sure about Maresca....That's shite I should think.

[Sheepo]

Delighted Mcinnes is gone and it comes at a good time to let a new guy survey the scene before the end of the season. 

[paddy]

So, new manager in before end of season or will we just go with Sheerin ?

[G31DON]

Let's go smash up the city centre in celebration. 

 

Cheerio Derek, thanks for 2014-17.

Did a decent job first few seasons and created a strong side 2016-17 but been in a comfort zone last couple of years.

The change was needed.

Not believing this until i see 100% proof.

But good riddance to the negative hun.

Having said that, we haven’t been that bad at all in the last 5 or 6 years.

You serious? We've been horrendous

Like dumping a bird you’ve had some cracking times with but the sex has dried up and she’s turned in to a right bag. 
 

Some good memories, but it had to end. 
 

Onwards and upwards

Bit poor from the club letting the press run with the story rather than announce it themselves first

This feels like a loss in the family

I hated the team recently, but so much to be thankful to him for

Let's really build now by getting someone ancelotti-style, someone we would never have thought we could get

We have mcinnes to thank for that, being at the stage we can dream of appointments like this 

Lol
