Hibs Head Coach Neil Lennon has committed his future to the Club until 2020 after agreeing a new three-year-deal to take the team forward.
The Northern Irishman led the club to automatic promotion by winning the Scottish Championship last season and were narrowly beaten in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
This campaign started with a 3-1 win over Partick Thistle which was followed by a memorable 3-2 victory over Rangers at Ibrox.
The club also have a great chance of progressing to the semi-final of the League Cup with a home tie against Livingston coming up.
Lennon said: “I am delighted to have signed the deal. I’ve made no secret of my enjoyment of my time at Easter Road and my desire to stay on at Hibernian.
“All of the parts are in place to build a strong future. We have a strong group of players, we are seeing talented youngsters like Fraser Murray and Ryan Porteous force their way into first-team contention, and we have good, supportive people running the Club.
“The infrastructure is first class, it’s a great club, and now I want to do all I can to make it a successful one.”
Leeann Dempster, Chief Executive, said: “We are delighted that Neil wants to commit to the club. He is an ambitious guy, he wants to win silverware, and he brings that mentality with him. We look forward to working together to bring supporters more of the success they have enjoyed over the past two seasons.”
