Jack Ross has told Hibs that their new director of football's ability to work with a head coach and 'mentor by guidance and support' is the key to success.
The 46-year-old is out of football management at present after an ill-fated stint at Dundee United at the beginning of this season. He took his Hibs to a third place finish plus a League Cup and Scottish Cup final during his time in charge of the Easter Road club, who have announced plans to bring in a DOF to support current boss Lee Johnson.
It's been a turbulent 18 months in Leith and they find themselves in the Premiership's bottom six, with recruitment in that time lamented. Ross, explaining in detail via his LinkedIn page, says guidance from above is one of the biggest factors Hibs' new addition can bring. He said: "As one of my former clubs announces it is seeking to recruit a Director of Football, it demonstrates further increasing evidence of the emergence and significance of the Sporting Director (SD) or equivalent role within football clubs.
