More recently, Caldwell had a spell as under-23 boss at Newcastle United and as loans coach at Manchester City.

On the appointment of Maloney, Hibs chief executive, Ben Kensell, said: “We wanted to acquire a manager who has an attacking mentality, who’s progressive, and someone who is hungry for the opportunity to build something here at this big club.

“Shaun has been the standout candidate throughout this process as his idea of football is completely aligned with ours and the history of this football club.”
