Hibs have parted company with Shaun Maloney after just four months in charge at Easter Road.
The news comes as a shock – despite the 39-year-old struggling for results during his short stint at the helm. But suffering consecutive defeats to Hearts in his final two games in charge proved the final straw for chairman Ron Gordon.
Maloney also failed to secure a top six finish before enduring a 2-1 defeat to their biggest rivals in Saturday's Scottish Cup semi final on Saturday – just his 19th match in charge of the Easter Road side.
