Soccer:Colin Calderwood has been confirmed as the new manager of Hibernian. The 45-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the Edinburgh club.
He replaces John Hughes at the helm, after he parted company with Hibs earlier this month. Airtricity League managers Pat Fenlon and Michael O'Neill had both been linked with the job.
Calderwood leaves his position as assistant manager at Newcastle to take up the post with the Clydesdale Bank Premier League club. The former Scotland defender was also manager of Northampton Town and Nottingham Forest before joining Newcastle in January 2009.
He now faces the task of improving results at Hibs, with a poor run leaving them eighth in the table ahead of this weekend‘s game at Aberdeen.
