The Swede has been handed the reigns at Pittodrie and is wasting no time in getting to work as he looks to bring success back to the club.
Jimmy Thelin once was described as a footballing vampire and he admitted he can’t wait to get his teeth into the Aberdeen job.
Thelin went on a family holiday after he left Sweden and admitted he was working on his Aberdeen revolution into the early Paris hours. He stated: “When the children fell asleep, the computer went up.Aberdeen’s greatest moment came in Gothenburg - when they beat Real Madrid to lift the 1983 European Cup Winners Cup. Thelin is hoping he can add to the Red Army’s Swedish love affair. He admitted: “Gothenburg is an amazing story. It is good. Maybe it is a sign.
Thelin was unveiled in Aberdeen’s Legends Lounge. It is surrounded by some of the greatest players like Willie Miller, Jim Leighton, Joe Harper and Alex McLeish. The new manager knows the club has a proud history but it is now about what he and his players do in the future. He explained: “My idea as coach, manager in a club and between games is that I never look back.
“Our responsibility is what we can do in the future. We need to take a little bit off the shoulders. Okay, we can be really proud that we have a job here and take responsibility for that.
