Shaun Maloney appointed Hibernian manager with Gary Caldwell assistantShaun Maloney has been appointed Hibernian manager on a three-and-a-half-year deal. The former Celtic and Scotland player, 38, leaves his role as Belgium assistant to replace Jack Ross and take on his first managerial job. And he will be assisted by his former team-mate Gary Caldwell, who leaves his post at Manchester City's academy. Caldwell, 39, played at Hibs before joining Celtic and later managed Wigan, Chesterfield and Partick Thistle. David Gray, 33, took interim charge of Hibernian for three games, including Sunday's Scottish League Cup final defeat by Celtic. Hibs are seventh in the Premiership, a point behind Aberdeen. Gray will remain as part of the backroom team along with goalkeeping coach Craig Samson.
Ein toller Spieler und auch für seine Rolle als Nachwuchscoach bei uns und vor allem als Assistenztrainer für Belgien hat er ja auch schon viel Lob bekommen. Ich bin wirklich mal gespannt was er in Leith erreichen kann und wünsche ihm auf jeden Fall viel Erfolg dort.
