Steve Clarke and Christian Titz are reportedly on a seven-man shortlist to become Aberdeen's next manager, replacing Stephen Robinson. Sky Sports is cited by BBC Sport's gossip column as the source of the claim.

The report says Nicky Hayen, recently sacked by Burnley, is also among the candidates. Clarke previously managed Scotland, and Titz is a former Hannover manager.

This is a media report, not an announcement. None of the sources contains a statement from Aberdeen, and no decision has been reported.

Who is on the list

Only three of the seven names have been given: Clarke, Titz and Hayen. The other four are not identified in the sources.

Clarke's situation

The Press and Journal, also cited by BBC Sport, says Clarke is understood to be settled in London despite Aberdeen's interest. The report does not say whether that would rule out a move.

The same newspaper reports that Falkirk manager John McGlynn is keen to stay at the club. It does not link him with the Aberdeen vacancy.

What happens next

Until Aberdeen confirm a decision, the names remain speculation and the list could change. None of Aberdeen, Clarke, Titz or Hayen is quoted in the sources.
