Aberdeen is set to welcome a new head coach mid-season, with Jimmy Thelin taking over from his current position at Elfsborg. Thelin expressed his excitement about the opportunity, calling it a “perfect match” for him and the club.
Thelin received support from Aberdeen’s management and fans, as well as appreciation for the intensity and speed of the Scottish Premiership. He emphasized the importance of alignment between the club and himself, stating that both parties need to believe in each other to move in the same direction.
Having only coached three games in the new Allsvenskan season with Elfsborg, Thelin is ready to transition his focus to Aberdeen and work towards a revival at Pittodrie. His attacking philosophy focuses on playing an intense and direct style of football, with all players working together to defend as a unit and create scoring opportunities.
Thelin sees this opportunity as a chance for a respectful exit from Elfsborg and a promising new chapter with Aberdeen.
