Andrew McKinlay has detailed Hearts' decision process behind the new coaching team.
Steven Naismith, Frankie McAvoy and Gordon Forrest will all remain at the club after a 'robust' recruitment drive with the trio penning deals until 2025 with the option of a further season at Tynecastle. They begin work from the off with the squad due back for pre-season training later this month.
The Jambos will play in Europe and enter the Europa Conference League third qualifying round. That means they will need to safely navigate two ties in order to reach the group stage once again. They earned that shot after finishing fourth in the Premiership.
