Hibernian have announced the departure of head coach David Gray following a poor start to the season. The decision to sack Gray was not taken lightly, but ultimately one that the board felt was necessary due to the recent downturn in results and performances. Executive chairman Ian Gordon explained the reasoning behind 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 recent home losses, including a sixth successive defeat, stretching back to last season, have put pressure on the team.
Assistants Liam Craig and Craig Samson are also leaving the club, with John Potter taking charge for Saturday's home game against Aberdeen. The Scottish Premiership is a highly competitive league, and Hibernian will be looking to turn their season around under new leadership. The club's poor start to the season has been a major concern, and the decision to sack Gray is a clear indication that the board is willing to take drastic measures to improve the team's performance.
Hibernian's home game against Aberdeen is on Saturday, and it will be interesting to see how the team responds under new leadership.
