Hibs next manager: The leading contenders as new favourite emerges following Roy Keane report

The latest bookmaker odds on who will replace Shaun Maloney as the next manager of Hibs

Hibs are continuing their search for a new manager after parting ways with Shaun Maloney two weeks ago. The former Belgian national team No.2 was only in charge for 19 games but owner Ron Gordon and the club’s board felt they’d seen enough to know he wasn’t the right man to take them forward.

The club have begun the process of finding a successor but are committed to taking their time over an appointment. CEO Ben Kensell and head of recruitment Ian Gordon travelled to London last week to hold informal meetings with some candidates. The board will soon draw up a longlist which will then be whittled down before interviews in front of the full club board.

Roy Keane was the previous bookmakers’ favourite after expressing his interest, but his odds have changed dramatically after a report stated he was no longer interested.
