Hibernian FC have announced this morning that Nick Montgomery has been “relieved of his duties as Head Coach”.

Sergio Raimundo and Miguel Miranda have also left the Club with immediate effect.

Hibs are removing the manager after a 4-0 drubbing by Aberdeen at the weekend. The writing was already on the wall but now confirmed in today’s announcement. The club lost for the 13th time, having also done twelve and drawn 12 matches.

On Sunday after Aberdeen scored the third goal just after half time fans started leaving the stadium.

The Gordon Family said: “As a Board this was not a decision we made lightly, but felt it a necessary one to move the team forward. Although Nick and his coaching team worked tirelessly, their efforts didn’t deliver the results we had hoped for.

“We’d like to thank Nick, Sergio, and Miguel for all of their hard work and dedication, and wish them all the best for the future.”

David Gray will take charge of the First Team for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.

The club say that no further comment will be made at this time.

Nick Montgomery was a former player with Sheffield United and also moved to Australia to play for Central Coast Mariners. The 42-year-old became coach at Easter Road last year.
