After the shock dismissal of Jim Jefferies back on the 1st of August 2011, Hearts fans were wondering where big bad Vlad was going with this.

But then just 24 hours later in stepped the Portuguese maestro Paulo Sergio. Paolo Sergio Bento Brito as he is formally known, arrived in Gorgie after leaving Sporting Lisbon by mutual consent on 26 February following a Europa League exit at the hands of Rangers. 311 days and one unwanted contract later, Hearts will now be looking to appoint their 11th manager in 12 years.

A lot of Jambos will be wondering why hasn’t more been done to keep the Portuguese man who delivered Hearts their 2nd Scottish Cup in 6 years.

So what’s next for the Heart of Midlothian? And who will Mr. Romanov choose to take over the hot seat? Give us your thoughts on who you would like to see take over at Tynecastle.
