Lee Johnson is the new manager of Hibs on a four-year deal.
Johnson, who was a player at Hibs in the summer of 2006 before moving to Hearts, is the new coach.
In Scotland, Johnson played for Kilmarnock, where he won the League Cup in 2012 and ended his career.
The 40-year-old's most recent job was 13 months in charge of Sunderland, where he won the EFL trophy. He was fired in January after a loss.
Hibs failed to get a top-six finish in the league and were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Hearts.
David Gray will continue to be the first team coach.
Ronald J Gordon said that they took their time to make sure they got the right person as their new manager.
We have been very clear on the type of profile, the style of football, and the experience we want our new manager to have, and that aligned approach enabled us to be incredibly thorough and vigorous during our search.
There were a number of high-quality managers interested in the role, and we analysed them all thoroughly. The candidates were interviewed by a panel of directors before we decided that Lee was the perfect fit for us.
Not only does Lee have a proven record of success in management, but he also has knowledge of the Scottish and English game and will bring a positive style of play to Hibs.
We wanted a manager that would lead on recruitment and have a strong pool of knowledge. He shares the same ambitions for the Football Club as well as a winning culture.
We will support him in the transfer window, so he can put his own stamp on the squad, what will hopefully be a really successful campaign.
We are looking forward to working with him and his staff to bring sustained success to the football club.
The season ended in eighth place in the Scottish league.
