Former Sunderland boss Lee Johnson is said to be keen on taking the currently vacant Hibernian job, as he looks to get back into the managerial hot seat. The Scotsman reports ex- Black Cats boss Johnson has thrown his hat into the ring for the next Hibs manager following the sacking of Shaun Moloney in April.
He is no stranger to Scottish football either, having turned out for Hearts and Kilmarnock. Given that he only made four appearances for the Jam Tarts, Hibs biggest rivals, it is not expected inner city rivalries will matter too much, with the board said to be considering Johnson's name amongst a host of candidates.
Appointed in December 2020 by Sunderland, Johnson guided the Black Cats to the play-offs last season where they were unfortunately beaten in the semi-finals by Lincoln City.
