Overview
- Hibernian announced the appointment of Marink Reedijk on Thursday, replacing David Gray after the club began a search following a difficult run of results.
- Reedijk is 35 and arrives with recent success in Belgium, having led SK Beveren to an unbeaten second-tier title and promotion.
- The club named Rogier Molhoek as Reedijk’s assistant and said the new manager will join a squad training camp in La Manga before his first league game at Dundee United on October 10.
- Sporting director Malky Mackay and executive chairman Ian Gordon framed the hire as a continuation and evolution of Hibs’ football plan and highlighted Reedijk’s focus on high-energy, attacking play and player development.
- Hibs sit 10th with two wins from seven and a recent Conference League exit, so immediate results in upcoming league matches and the League Cup semi-final against Hearts will shape early judgement of Reedijk’s impact.
