Brown was replaced in May 2013 by current manager Derek McInnes and a more successful period ensued, with McInnes' win ratio (55%) second only to Alex Ferguson (58%). Aberdeen won the 2014 Scottish League Cup Final 4–2 on penalties, after a goalless draw, a success that saw them lift their first trophy in 19 years. McInnes led Aberdeen to European qualification for the first time since 2009, achieved through a third-place finish in the league campaign. The club has continued to perform well, and ended the season in second place—their best league position since 1993–94—in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
