The Dons have refused to shut the door on the Elfsborg coach with the club exploring a number of possibilities
The Elfsborg coach remains one of the Pittodrie side’s top targets. The Dons were knocked back last month because Thelin didn’t want to leave his current side in the lurch going into the new season, which kicked off last week. Aberdeen, however, have refused to shut the door. The 46-year-old remains firmly on their radar. Thelin impressed the Reds when he interviewed for the job last season but lost out to Barry Robson.
He went on to finish second in the Swedish league, losing out to Malmo on the final day. Thelin has never hidden his desire to get a crack at the British game. Aberdeen are exploring a number of possibilities and Thelin is amongst them. It could even see Peter Leven take the team for the season with the possibility of Thelin coming in at the end of the season. The Dons have a three man shortlist and remain in dialogue with multiple candidates.
They hope to announce their candidate this week, if everything goes to plan. First-team coach Leven has led the team to back-to-back wins and that has given the Pittodrie board time but also lifted them away from the relegation play-off spot.
