Former Aberdeen director of football Steven Gunn has swapped Scottish football for the Eredivisie.
The experienced recruitment chief left the Dons last year following a stint lasting a staggering 25 years in a variety of roles at the club. It was a decision which came as a surprise at the time for the Pittodrie outfit.
Gunn has been out of work since that time but earlier today he confirmed that he had taken a role as director of football with ADO Den Haag in the Dutch top flight.
He will join up with former Scottish FA performance director Mark Wotte who currently works as Den Haag's technical director.

It is a move which will undoubtedly be an interesting one for the talent-spotter and he took to his LinkedIn page on social media to tell of his excitement ahead of starting the position.
He said: "I’m pleased to share that I’m starting a new role as Director of Football at ADO Den Haag. Excited to get started and grateful to Global Football Holdings - Scott McLachlan, Chris A., and our dedicated and ambitious investors - and Natascha van Grinsven for the opportunity.
"Looking forward to working with Mark Wotte and building on our relationship forged over 15 years ago during Mark’s time as Performance Director at the Scottish FA.
"Robin (Peter) and the team have done a great job taking the club back to where it belongs and achieving promotion last season. We’ll be working to further develop the environment and build sustainably in the Eredivisie.
"ADO has huge potential, sold-out season tickets for 2026/27, a catchment area of 1,000,000+, new infrastructure development at the training centre, a pathway for Academy talent, and a desire for innovation and growth. It's an exciting place to be for the seasons ahead.
"I look forward to working with everyone at the club and earning the trust of the supporters and the people of The Hague as we build on the club’s proud traditions and ambitious future."
