Shaun Maloney: Hibernian appoint former Belgium assistant as Jack Ross' replacement

Hibs have appointed a new manager, with a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The former Scotland international joined the backroom team of Roberto Martinez in the year 2000.

Gary Caldwell will be at Easter Road on Monday for the first time since the League Cup final.

Gary Caldwell will return to Easter Road as an assistant.

David Gray, who was the interim coach, will be a part of the coaching staff.

A run of two wins in 11 matches has Hibs in seventh place in the Scottish Premiership.

Ben Kensell said that they were very happy to have a new manager in Shaun.

The recruitment of a new manager has been strategic and centered around the clear vision of the football club.

A three-and-a-half-year deal has been signed by Maloney.

We wanted a manager who was progressive, hungry for the chance to build something, and had an attacking mentality.

"Shaun's idea of football is completely aligned with ours and the history of this football club, and he was the most popular candidate throughout the process."

He believes in attacking, possession-based football and has implemented it at the highest level with Roberto Martnez at Belgium.

The Belgium boss was working with Maloney.

He is a coach that wants to develop the players we have at this football club, as we have assembled a good squad. He wants to work with young players and is aligned with our focus on bringing through young talent.

This is a big opportunity forShaun to show what he can do. He will be supported in the upcoming transfer windows to help achieve our goals here.

We have a lot of faith in him. He wants to bring success to the club.

Hibs is a great job for Maloney.

John Collins was the former Hibs boss.

I'm happy for him. He served his apprenticeship in the coaching department over in Belgium with a top coach, and he was a terrific footballer. I wish him the best and I'm sure he will do well.

It's a testing job, but I think it's a great first job for him.

There's a decent squad and everything is in place. He'll be able to assess his squad in the next few weeks because of the transfer window opening.

He'll be looking to strengthen the squad. It's not easy in January, but I think it would be good if a few came in.

It's not about numbers, it's about bringing in better players than you already have.
