Aberdeen closing in on new manager as Lutz Pfannenstiel's first Pittodrie transfer window dissectedThe German can be found in the dugout on matchdays as the search for Jimmy Thelin's successor looks to be nearing an endView 4 Images Aberdeen Sporting Director Lutz Pfannenstiel (Image: SNS Group)Aberdeen are closing in on a new manager. Pfannenstiel came in and immediately identified that the squad needs more physicality, grit and know-how of Scottish football. Karlsson will have left Aberdeen as frustrated as the Red Army who watched him week-in week-out. ‌He could have been an asset but he was keen to return south for family reasons and with 18 months left Aberdeen had to cash in. If he does then January into February could prove to be Pfannenstiel and Aberdeen window of dreams.
