Hibs have announced the appointment of Malky Mackay as the club’s new Sporting Director.
Mackay was sacked as Ross County manager earlier in the season but now takes on a role at Hibs where he will oversee the club’s entire football operation.
The former Cardiff City boss had a similar role at the Scottish FA from 2016 to 2020 as the National side’s performance director in charge for player development.
Mackay’s first task will be leading the search for the team’s new Head Coach following the sacking of Nick Montgomery earlier today.
The Gordon family said in a statement: “We’d like to welcome Malky and believe he will be a huge asset to our Club and the football department. As the Board conducted the football review, it became clear to everyone that not only did we need someone with experience of the Scottish game, but also a person who could help drive us forward both strategically and operationally.
“Early in the recruitment process Malky discussed his strategic vision for Hibs and the necessary framework to deliver success. Everyone at the Club looks forward to working with him.”
It has been rumoured that Hibs’ current Director of Football, Brian McDermott, will be leaving after only a year in the role.
Masters Student currently studying Sports Journalism at Edinburgh Napier University.
