Hibernian have identified Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley as the leading candidate to become their new head coach. The Scottish Premiership side are moving to replace David Gray after a difficult start to the season that has left them in the table with just points from seven matches.
Sporting director Malky Mackay is leading the search on behalf of the club's American owners. Bradley, who is currently competing in a tight League of Ireland title race with Shamrock Rovers, is now the front-runner for the post at Easter Road. The 41-year-old could follow the path of Pat Fenlon, who made the same move from the Dublin club to manage Hibs back in 2011.
Hibernian's recent form has been a concern, with just one win in their last five league outings. Their most recent result was a 1-1 home draw with Aberdeen, where Martin Boyle scored a second-half penalty. They face Dundee United away in their next fixture on 10 October.
Bradley's potential appointment comes at a critical time. The squad's current standing and upcoming fixtures present an immediate challenge for any new manager. Fans can track the team's progress and check the latest squad information as the club looks to climb the standings.
