Portable Badger Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Heart of Midlothian Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Daniel Stendel as its new First Team Manager. The 45-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal and will take up his new post on Tuesday, December 10th. German-born Daniel made a name for himself in his playing days as a striker in his homeland, featuring for clubs such as Hamburger SV, Hannover 96 and FC St Pauli. It was at Hannover where he would cut his managerial teeth in April 2016 after a spell coaching the U19 side. A little over two years later he arrived on British soil to take over at then League One side Barnsley. Having been relegated prior to his arrival, Daniel immediately turned round their fortunes, leading the Oakwell outfit to a second-placed finish ahead of Jack Ross’ Sunderland, and securing promotion back to the Championship at the first time of asking. He left them in October of this year. While it has taken some time for this process to reach its conclusion we firmly believe that Daniel is the right man to take the club forward. With our number one target now on board and his future pledged to Hearts, everyone at Tynecastle Park welcomes Daniel and hopes his appointment heralds an exciting new era for the Club as, together, we look to climb back up the Ladbrokes Premiership table.

No, fair enough I8. It was just a joke...and I happen to agree with you, he gave a lot of youngsters, including one Craig Gordon , their debut .

Yes it’s taken time but we’ve shown ambition and not just settled for a soft option like Mcann or Mcall. last few games have shown he has a tough tough job on his hands but new managers can bring a breath of fresh air to clubs and hopefully that’s what will happen here and he’ll lift the players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Welcome Daniel. Now let those so called players of ours know we expect a whole lot better than the dross they have been producing. Just a pity this couldn't have happened quicker and the four points we have given away in two matches might have been ours. Anyway let's all get behind the manager and I am sure we will see a significant improvement in the coming weeks.

Tell everyone you know the Hearts are coming back to where they belong at the top of Scottish football. Get you family, friends, workmates, neighbours, and boyfriends/girlfriends to Tynecastle to welcome a new beginning. Let’s make some noise.
