The Tynecastle board pulled the trigger and now the search is on to try and reverse shocking Premiership start
Eight defeats on the bounce would put any manager in deep trouble. Couple that with no wins all season, four months since the last one and sitting bottom of the league, then the writing was well and truly on the wall for Steven Naismith .
The Tynecastle club will confirm the next steps in due course, although it's almost certain that B team boss Liam Fox will step up and take the team for next Saturday's home clash with Ross County at least.Derek McInnes The name on many fans' lips and after guiding Kilmarnock to Europe leas season with a no nonsense approach, you can see why. However, he seems to have suffered in a similar way to Naismith this term, just not as extremely.
Since leaving Deepdale, spells at Sunderland and Stoke City have been less than inspiring. However, Neill is available now after leaving the Potters last December and would bring experience that Naismith lacked. Might not be the hot ticket he was while at Hamilton, but fans wouldn't exactly turn their noses up if he was the choice.
Steven Schumacher Another boss looking to bounce back after leaving Stoke City. After staring as Ryan Lowe's assistant at Bury, he followed his fellow Scouser to Plymouth before taking the top job when Lowe departed for Preston in 2021. The Pilgrims just missed out on the League One playoffs in 2022 but the following year, Schumacher had them flying adn they won the title in style, securing promotion to the Championship.
Twice he was tasked with winning the Championship and twice he delivered. Third places after promotion duly followed and when he was sacked last April, Hearts were fourth and still in with a chance of catching Aberdeen, although the points gap that they allowed the Dons to close was a big one.
Kim Hellberg If Aberdeen's relentless start to the season under Jimmy Thelin has caught imaginations in the Tynecastle boardroom, then they may also look to Sweden for their next boss. It wouldn't simply be jumping on the bandwagon either. As Record Sport exclusively revealed, Hearts interviewed then Hamarby boss Marti Cifuentes after Neilson was sacked and was the preferred candidate of some board members before Naismith got the nod.
