Hibs new manager: Shaun Maloney emerges as new favourite
The development comes after Easter Road chief Ben Kensell updated supporters promising a new manager with “an attacking mentality [who] is progressive and hungry for the opportunity to build something special at Hibs”.
Maloney, 38, has been Roberto Martinez’s right-hand man with Belgium since August 2018. Before then he had spells on the coaching staff at Celtic and during his playing career turned out for the Hoops, Aston Villa, Wigan, Chicago Fire, and Hull City.
