Hibs have tonight confirmed Neil Lennon as the club's new Head Coach.
Lennon has signed a two-year-deal and takes over after Alan Stubbs left to take charge of English Championship side Rotherham United.
Garry Parker also joins as assistant to the new head coach, taking the same job he had under Lennon at both Celtic & Bolton.
Speaking to the official club website, Hibs chairman Rod Petrie said:
“We are delighted to have secured a Head Coach of Neil’s calibre and profile, and we look forward to him bringing his drive and mentality to our campaign to win the Championship this season and secure promotion back to the top flight of Scottish football.”
Hibs CEO Leeann Dempster added:
“As soon as Neil was identified as the outstanding candidate we were determined to bring him to Easter Road. He has managed at a very high level, taking Celtic to the last 16 of the Champions League, and we were attracted by his ability to get the most out of players and his driven, winning mentality.
"On behalf of everyone at Hibernian FC we would like to extend a warm welcome to both Neil and Garry."
Lennon is said to have become the highest paid Hibs manager in the history of the club, a huge staement of intent.
