Overview
- Hibernian announced the appointment on Thursday, naming 35-year-old Marink Reedijk as manager after David Gray was sacked eight days earlier.
- The club cited Reedijk's record of attacking, high-energy football and player development at SK Beveren and in academy roles as the reason for his selection.
- Reedijk arrives from Beveren after leading them to promotion with an unbeaten second-tier campaign and says he wants Hibs to be “brave, intense and committed.”
- Sporting director Malky Mackay and executive chairman Ian Gordon have pledged institutional support and described the hire as an evolution of the club’s existing football strategy.
- Reedijk will be assisted by Rogier Molhoek, will join the team at a La Manga training camp, and is scheduled to manage his first match on October 10 at Dundee United, a timetable that raises immediate pressure for improved results and rapid integration of the squad.
