Ex-Hibs boss takes to LinkedIn to find work following recent EFL dismissal

Hibs' former boss Lee Johnson has taken to LinkedIn to find work, offering up training sessions to aspiring coaches and managers through Zoom sessions. The ex-Hibee has offered sessions on recruitment, media management and club structure in his recent post after admitting he is 'out of work currently'.

Johnson was sacked from Hibs at the end of August, and then removed from his role as Fleetwood Town's manager after just four months and it now appears that the Englishman is hoping to help upcoming coaches with his experiences.

Taking to the recruitment social media site, the 42-year-old wrote: "This is a message for Coaches that aspire to be a Manager/Head coach or potential Technical Directors.

"As I'm out of work currently, I thought I would offer up my experiences by the way of 4 interactive zoom sessions for 5 individuals that are keen on learning from my experiences over 500+ games in management.

"Topics covered will include: Interview process; playing philosophy and periodisation; recruiting players and staff; development of younger players; examples of effective working relationships with players and club hierarchy; media management; club structure."

Johnson then finishes off the post by saying to inbox if interested. Aside from his time at Easter Road and Highbury Stadium, Johnson also spent two years at Oldham Athletic; a season at Barnsley; four years at Bristol City and two years at Sunderland.

The ex-midfielder, who spent a brief period of his playing career at Hearts, joined the Easter Road outfit in May 2022 but following a "roller-coaster" stint was sacked after a third consecutive league defeat that left the club bottom of the Premiership. He was replaced with Nick Montgomery just under a month later.

After his dismissal from Leith, Johnson said: "I have loved every minute of my time in Edinburgh and in the Scottish Premiership, which is an intense and challenging league but extremely fulfilling for a manager to be involved in. I have felt welcome all around the city."
