Hibernian have appointed Nicky Montgomery as their new head coach on a three-year deal following the recent departure of Lee Johnson.
The 41-year-old joins the Easter Road club from Central Coast Mariners, having led them to the A-League championship last season.
He will be assisted by Portuguese duo Sergio Raimundo (assistant head coach) and Miguel de Oliveira Miranda (goalkeeping coach), who both worked with him in Australia. David Gray will remain with Hibs as first-team coach.
As a player, Montgomery spent more than a decade with Sheffield United before moving to Australia and was also capped by Scotland at U21 level.
Hibernian Director of Football Brian McDermott told the club website: “Ian (Gordon) Ben (Kensell), the board of directors, and I believe that Nick is the right fit for this football club.
“He has a real strong, distinctive style of play, is a front-foot manager, and what he achieved at Central Coast Mariners last season was phenomenal.
“He created a strong relationship and camaraderie between the supporters, players and staff and he’s an excellent man manager."
