Who are they and what do they do

With the recent arrival of Jimmy Thelin as the new First Team Manager of Aberdeen FC, and driven by the Club’s ambition to consistently challenge for major honours, Aberdeen FC has engaged with Ekkono Soccer Services.

The collaboration will see the provision of support to Aberdeen FC, with Jimmy reunited with Fran Rubio – who he worked with during his successful period at Elfsborg – seconded from Ekkono to Aberdeen FC to be part of the First Team coaching structure, with a specific focus on individual player development and implementation of the game model.

Steven Gunn, Director of Football Aberdeen FC: "Jimmy enjoyed much success through Elfsborg’s collaboration with Ekkono, with their support being a key component of Elfsborg’s positive progress on the pitch. Alongside supporting the execution of the game model, Fran will have a key focus on players within the transition phase between Academy and First Team football, providing focused individual support to our emerging talent and younger First Team players."

Miquel Farrerons, CEO Ekkono Soccer Services: "It is an honour to join forces with such a powerful project at a historic club like Aberdeen FC. We will give our best to achieve the desired results."

Heard similar that it wasn't really his decision

Exactly. And yet people think it was his decision to leave?

Would that have been a decision based off the review of the club?

Could of been both him and the club deciding it’s time , with jimmy coming in simmie may not work the way jimmy wants and there is the new broom sweeps clean so it is expected people would be moved on , or maybe he jumped before he was pushed

Sad to see Simmie go and would have been nice if he could have fulfilled an ambassadorial role with us. 

However, the coaching set up needed a complete shake up. There were too many remnants from previous manager appointments in and around the first team.  Looked like a collection of individuals rather than a cohesive coaching team.

If Simmie is working for RAM, than I’d expect to see him in their executive boxes on match days, entertaining clients etc. which he’d be very good at.

So, an ambassador of sorts

Is there not a send off planned for him at the Killie game in two weeks time? 

A display of some sort, & he’ll go on the pitch pre-match to wave good bye no doubt.

Do “Ekkono” actually have any sort of track record for this kind of stuff, or is it just more jobs for the boys?

They were doing the exact same job with Elfsborg and Fran Rubio worked with Jimmy over there.

I see they also work with HJK as well as clubs such as Barcelona & PSG.

Will he be serving Ferrero Rocher?
