Shaun Maloney shoots down talk of Hibs taking a risk on a rookie boss as he looks to make instant impact at Easter Road
Shaun Maloney believes his role in helping Belgium become the top-ranked nation in world football has fully prepared him to hit the ground running as Hibernian manager.
The 38-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with the Easter Road club as he takes up the first front line position of his fledgling coaching career after three years as part of Belgium boss Roberto Martinez’s backroom staff.
But Maloney is dismissive of the notion Hibs are taking a gamble on someone who has not previously faced the intensity and demands of being a manager in his own right.
