Sheerin doesn’t expect much ‘interference’ from Glass ahead of cup tie
Interim boss Paul Sheerin expects free reign to take charge of Aberdeen for the next two matches.
Newly-appointed manager Stephen Glass will have to quarantine when he arrives from the US and will hope his first match in charge is the Scottish Cup fourth round.
Sheerin will stay in his role for tomorrow's third-round tie at Dumbarton and has been given licence to do things his way, along with coaches Barry Robson and Neil Simpson.
On his talks with Glass so far, Sheerin said: "The initial conversation was purely to let me do as I have been doing. With Stephen having experience of being interim at Atlanta last year, he feels it is important not to have too much interference with what you are doing.
"As it stands he is more than happy for us to keep going until he is in at the club.
"Maybe if he's watching it and it's not going well he might be screaming down the phone line, but I'd be very surprised if I hear from him."
Sheerin is also set to be in the dugout for the trip to Perth the following weekend.
"It seems he will probably struggle for the St Johnstone game," Sheerin added. "He is flying over in the next couple of days so the St Johnstone game may just be too early, but probably the Monday or Tuesday after that he will be in the club and getting himself up and running."
Reserve-team boss Sheerin has had assurances over his own future.
"I've spoken to Stephen and had assurances from the club that there is still a role for me," he said. "How that develops I am yet to see. I will continue to try and develop younger players as long as I am asked to do thatandifthereisanythingdifferent, I will be more than happy to work for the club and give it my all as I always do."
