MARCEL LOWITSCH JOINS
ABERDEEN FC’S SCOUTING TEAM

MLES Academy is proud to announce that Founder and Director Marcel Lowitsch has been appointed to Aberdeen FC’s scouting team by Sporting Director Lutz Pfannenstiel for the 2026/27 season.

Alongside his scouting responsibilities at Aberdeen FC, Lowitsch will continue to lead MLES Academy.

A Proud European Heritage

Based in the northeast of Scotland, Aberdeen FC is one of the country’s most historic football clubs. Known as “The Dons,” the club has a passionate following and a distinguished place in European football history.

Under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, Aberdeen won the European Cup Winners’ Cup on 11 May 1983, defeating Real Madrid 2–1 after extra time in Gothenburg. Later that year, the club added the European Super Cup with victory over Hamburger SV.

These achievements remain defining moments in Aberdeen’s history and a source of lasting pride for Scottish football.

An Honour and a Responsibility

With its passionate supporters, deep community ties and competitive spirit, Scottish football has a distinctive identity. The opportunity to contribute to a club that embodies these qualities marks an important milestone in Lowitsch’s career.

“Joining Aberdeen FC’s scouting team is a tremendous honour. To contribute to a club with such a distinguished history, where Sir Alex Ferguson achieved extraordinary European success, is something I take great pride in.

“I would like to thank Lutz Pfannenstiel and Aberdeen FC for their trust and this opportunity.”

Continuing to Lead MLES Academy

Alongside his scouting responsibilities, Lowitsch will remain fully committed to his role as Founder and Director of MLES Academy, continuing to oversee its development and create opportunities for its players.

“My commitment to MLES Academy remains as strong as ever. Developing players, recognising potential and creating pathways in football are central to my work. I look forward to bringing that same dedication to my role with Aberdeen FC.”
