Hibs hero returns to Easter Road as 'really good coach' makes next move after Hamilton exit

Guillaume Beuzelin has returned to former club Hibs after leaving Hamilton Accies.

The former Easter Road star is a hero at the Scottish Premiership side after helping them win the League Cup in 2007.

After short spell as a youth coach at Hibs, the 42-year-old moved to Accies in 2015 as assistant manager, where he stayed until last November.

Beuzelin now links up with the Edinburgh club once more and Hibs academy chief Steve Kean says it was a no-brainer to reunite with someone he worked with down south at Coventry City.

He said: “We’ve been backed by Ben (Kensell, chief executive) and the chairman to expand our coaching team. We have brought back Guillaume Beuzelin from Hamilton Academical where he was previously coaching.

"I had him as a player when we were both at Coventry, so I know exactly what he is like. He brings a different outlook, he was a very technical player and now, he is a really good coach.

“The academy system is probably as good as I have seen. The sports science, medical and nutritional side of thing is great.

"By bringing in extra quality coaches, we can really start to do more individual coaching and in turn improve the unit, the team and the club as whole."
