Hibs owner Ron Gordon has vowed to back Lee Johnson with resources and time - after hinting he got it wrong in sacking Jack Ross.
Ross was fired after in December after two years in charge with the club sitting seventh but having taken them into the final of the Premier Sports Cup only two weeks earlier.
He had led them to a top three finish for the first time in 16 years the previous season but after being replaced by Shaun Maloney - who himself was fired after just four months in April - Hibs finished a miserable season eighth.
