Marink Reedijk has become the first candidate to publicly declare his interest in the vacant Hibernian manager's job. The Dutch coach, currently working as a technical director, has told the media he is keen to lead the Scottish Premiership side.
Reedijk, who has previously worked with clubs including FC Twente and FC Groningen, said he sees the role as a perfect fit. The 49-year-old has been out of frontline coaching for several years but is eager to return to the dugout.
His declaration comes as Hibernian's search for a permanent successor continues. The club has been without a permanent manager for several weeks and currently sits 10th in the Premiership, having taken just seven points from their opening seven matches. Their recent form shows one win, one draw, and three defeats from the last five games.
Two other unnamed candidates are also understood to be in the running for the position, according to sources close to the process. The club's hierarchy is conducting a thorough search to find the right individual to steer the team forward.
The immediate focus remains on the upcoming fixture away to Dundee United on October 10th. United are currently two places above Hibs in eighth. Fans can check the full schedule on the club's fixtures page.
With key defender Rocky Bushiri currently sidelined, and Martin Boyle leading the scoring charts with three goals, the new manager will have immediate squad decisions to make. The club's current standings position highlights the need for a swift and effective appointment to improve results.
