Hibernian have confirmed the appointment of Marink Reedijk as their new head coach, bringing in the 35-year-old Dutch manager following his departure from Belgian club Beveren. The move marks a fresh chapter for the Scottish Premiership side after the departure of David Gray from the managerial role.
Reedijk will take charge of a restructured coaching setup, with Rogier Molhoek joining him as assistant manager. The appointment reflects the club’s desire to inject new tactical ideas and energy into their operation on the pitch.

Sporting director Malky Mackay has thrown his support behind the appointment, highlighting Reedijk’s coaching philosophy as central to the decision. Mackay praised the new manager’s proactive, high-energy approach, suggesting this aligns with the club’s strategic direction moving forward.
Reedijk expressed his enthusiasm about the opportunity in his first comments since joining, saying: “I can feel the ambition and see the clarity of what the club is trying to achieve.” His words suggest confidence in the vision laid out by the club’s leadership and an alignment with Hibernian’s ambitions.
The managerial change represents a notable shift in style for the Scottish outfit, as they look to build on their foundation in the top flight. With Molhoek providing additional tactical support, the management team now brings fresh perspectives to the club’s operations.
