“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,” Hibernian
chairman Ron Gordon said.
“We thank Shaun
and his coaching staff for all their hard work and efforts and wish them all
the best for the future.”
Former Celtic and
Scotland midfielder Maloney quit his role as
Belgium assistant manager to
succeed Jack Ross at Hibernian in December.
The 39-year-old
won his first two matches against Aberdeen and Dundee United.
But Hibernian had
managed just one league victory since then, and a 3–1 defeat against Hearts the
week before the semi-final loss consigned them to a bottom-six finish.
Maloney has been
without key players at times through illness, injury, and suspension, while the
club sold Australia winger Martin Boyle to Saudi Arabian side
Al-Faisaly late
in the transfer window.
Former Hibernian skipper
David Gray will take caretaker charge for the remainder of the season, with
support from Eddie May and Jon Busch.
