That role will take on oversight of the Academy and youth development, probably other non-first team stuff that Levein did. They key thing though is that she has stated that the new manager will report directly to the CEO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Lennon confirmed that. Hearts may be giving manager more control eg over signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNox Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Interesting that she says she'd like to appoint the SD before a new manager, then goes on to talk about us not having a consistent style of play. Could it be she wants the SD to define a style of play then look for a manager who will fit this style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
