Shaun Maloney: Hibernian sack manager after four months in charge | Football News

Hibernian have sacked manager Shaun Maloney after just four months in charge of the Scottish Premiership club.

The 39-year-old’s departure comes after they failed to secure a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership and exited the Scottish Cup to Edinburgh rivals Hearts.

In a statement, executive chairman Ronald J Gordon said: “Our hope in appointing Shaun Maloney as a young, highly regarded coach was that he would help us take the club forward, but ultimately that has not been the case.

“We thank Shaun and his coaching staff for all their hard work and efforts and wish them all the best for the future.”

David Gray will take charge of the first team for the rest of the season, supported by Eddie May and Jon Busch.
