HIBERNIAN have confirmed the sacking of manager Shaun Maloney after just four months in charge.
Maloney has departed in the wake of Saturday’s Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Hearts.
A club statement read: "Hibernian FC can confirm that Shaun Maloney has departed the club as First Team Manager.
"Gary Caldwell, Valerio Zuddas and Brian Doogan have also left with immediate effect.
"David Gray will take charge of the First Team as Caretaker Manager for the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign and will be supported by Eddie May and Jon Busch.
"No further comment will be made at this time."
Executive Chairman Ron Gordon commented: “Our hope in appointing Shaun Maloney as a young, highly regarded coach was that he would help us take the club forward, but ultimately it didn't work out.
“We thank Shaun and his coaching staff for all their hard work and efforts and wish them all the best for the future.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
