Jim Goodwin to wield Aberdeen axe as new boss looks to make two immediate changes

Jim Goodwin is continuing his Aberdeen revamp with more backroom staff changes.

Goalkeeping coach Gordon Marshall and head of medicine and football science Adam Stokes are both set to leave Pittodrie imminently.

Goodwin has already let player assistant coach Scott Brown terminate his contract early.

Brown was told that there was no longer a coaching role with Goodwin and No. 2 Lee Sharp there.

The Dons boss is already making his mark at Aberdeen and is looking to make more changes.

Derek McInnes brought Marshall in from Motherwell to replace Jim Leighton seven years ago and has been there since.

The former keeper, however, has been sidelined in recent weeks after knee surgery.

Craig Samson had been brought in on a short-term deal to cover.

Stokes came in from Motherwell in 2016 and was influential under McInnes and then former boss Stephen Glass.
