The 55-year-old first joined the Scottish Premiership club in 2013 as part of Derek McInnes' management team and went on to spend eight years at Pittodrie. "Tony has a wealth of experience and knows the club inside out," Pfannenstiel told his club website. "He has excellent knowledge of the Scottish Premiership, both as a coach and a manager, and that will be invaluable for us in the short term. "He's been at the club before, so it's great to get Tony in with his experience. Should Aberdeen decide to wait until the summer for the Norwegian to take charge, it will mirror the six-month delay in Thelin arriving at Pittodrie from Elfsborg in summer 2024.
