Robson will continue to be assisted by Steve Agnew, who has also agreed a new two-year deal to stay at Aberdeen.

“I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to manage this fantastic football club,” Robson said.

“I would like to thank the chairman and the wider board for putting their trust in me and together with Steve and my staff we will work tirelessly to match the ambitions of the club.

“Since being asked to take the team at the end of January, the response from the players has been immense, and likewise the supporters have been brilliant and got right behind the team. They have played their part in our recent wins.

“We still have five tough matches remaining this season but we’re all more determined than ever to deliver European football again for the supporters and longer term, meet the expectations of this great club.”
