Former Football League player Shaun Maloney is believed to be keen on the Aberdeen job, as per a report by the Daily Record.
The Dons are in the hunt for a new manager to replace Derek McInnes and are not short of interest.
Maloney, who is 38 years old, hung up his boots in 2017 and has since delved into the coaching world.
He first took up a role with the Celtic as their Under-20’s manager before being appointed as a coach with the Belgium national team under Roberto Martinez in 2018.
