Hibernian have announced that their head coach, David Gray, has left the club after a difficult start to the Scottish Premiership season. The decision follows a 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock, the team at the bottom of the league, which left Hibs in ninth place with just six points from their first six matches. This defeat marked the club’s sixth straight home loss, dating back to last season. Along with Gray, assistant coaches Liam Craig and Craig Samson have also departed, leaving the club’s coaching staff in transition.
In the wake of these departures, interim manager John Potter has been placed in charge for Hibernian’s upcoming home match against Aberdeen. Potter, who has previously worked with the club, will take on the role on a temporary basis while the club looks to appoint a new head coach. The decision to part ways with Gray and his staff comes amid growing concerns over the team's performance and results over the past several months.
Executive chairman Ian Gordon expressed the board's regret over the decision, stating, "Ultimately, this is a decision that we have not taken lightly, but unfortunately, one as a board we had to make due to the recent downturn of results and performances." The statement highlights the board's frustration with the team's struggles and their desire to make changes in pursuit of improvement.
Hibernian’s poor start to the season has raised questions about the club's direction and management. With the team sitting in ninth place, fans and officials alike are looking for a turnaround in form and results. The appointment of a new manager is expected to be a key factor in determining whether the club can recover and compete more effectively in the Premiership this season.
