Eirik Horneland has emerged as a leading candidate for the manager’s job at Aberdeen.
The Norwegian is a free agent after leaving the position of head coach at French club Saint-Etienne last weekend.
Prior to his two years in France, the 50-year-old had three successful years in charge of SK Brann in his homeland.
He got Brann promoted to Norway’s top division and then secured a second-place finish there while also winning the Norwegian Cup.
He has also managed Rosenborg, who are regarded as Norway’s biggest club, and his hometown team Haugesund.
Aberdeen are entering the latter stages of their search for a new manager following the dismissal of Jimmy Thelin at the start of last month.
