Steve Archibald is said to want a return to Scottish football by taking over as Hibs manager.
The 65-year-old was last involved in the game in 2000 when he tried to buy Airdrieonians, bringing with him a host of top stars and winning the 2000-01 Scottish Challenge Cup against Livingston.
Archibald ultimately failed to buy the then-ailing club and left with his players in March 2001, leading to them almost being relegated that season, and going bust the following year.
