Marink Reedijk has vow to develop a “brave, intense and committed” Hibernian team after leaving Belgian top-flight club Beveren to become the club’s new manager.
The Dutchman, 35, replaces David Gray, who was sacked eight days ago after a difficult start to the term for the Scottish Premiership outfit.
Reedijk has spent the last two seasons with Beveren, earning promotion to the top flight last season after an unbeaten campaign.
He previous worked in academy roles at Ajax and West Bromwich Albion, and in with the senior teams at KSV Roeselare, Vitesse and RSCA Futures.
Hibs say Reedijk – who is “honoured” to be appointed – arrives with a reputation for attacking football and building a strong team culture.
“I can feel the ambition and see the clarity of what the club is trying to achieve,” he said. “That was a big part of what attracted me here.
“I want us to be an assertive team. A team that gives everything, plays with purpose and gives our supporters something to really get behind.”
Reedijk will be assisted by Rogier Molhoek at Easter Road.
