Shaun Maloney appointed Hibernian manager
Shaun Maloney reckons Hibernian is the perfect place to start his managerial career as he aims to build
something very special at Easter Road.
The 38-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Hibernian and leaving his role as Belgium assistant to replace Jack Ross.
Maloney 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.
Maloney was encouraged by Sunday’s cup final loss to Celtic as he looks to lift the Edinburgh club from their current
position of seventh in the Premiership.
Maloney started his playing career at Celtic and returned to the club after 18 months at Aston Villa before spells with Wigan,
Chicago and Hull.
He was capped 47 times, scoring seven Scotland goals.
