The interim Dons boss was rushed for emergency surgery last weekend and missed the victory over St Johnstone.
Peter Leven was on his mobile phone shouting and screaming instructions from his hospital bed to Jonny Hayes on the Aberdeen bench last weekend.
Aberdeen extended their unbeaten league run to six games, with the 1-0 win over St Johnstone proving the perfect antidote for their boss. Leven explained: “Last Saturday was so frustrating, the media team here were brilliant because they got me hooked up to a live stream. I was screaming and shouting down the phone at Jonny Hayes telling him to pass on messages.
“Thankfully the hospital had me in a room on my own so I wasn’t bothering anyone else when I was raising my voice. The staff there were great, although I did have to tell one guy who walked past to wait a minute because I was in the middle of making a sub at the time! Leven did go on FaceTime into the Aberdeen dressing room after the St Johnstone win although all sympathy for him disappeared when he told his players they were only getting one day off. He explained: “After the game I did FaceTime with the boys in my gown, it was good to speak to the players and give them a bit of a laugh. Although they were not too happy when I said they were only getting one day off and not two so they were booing me.
