Hearts FC, once boasting European aspirations and positivity under Steven Naismith, now finds itself struggling at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership. Following Naismith's dismissal and Neil Critchley's short tenure, the club is pursuing Derek McInnes as a potential new head coach. McInnes, known for his mixed reception among fans, has had notable successes, including league promotions and a League Cup title. His management style and past achievements present an intriguing opportunity for Hearts as they look to reclaim a competitive edge in Scottish football.
Naismith was dismissed in September after a wretched start to the campaign. Neil Critchley's six-month reign was brief and meek, an initial upturn dissipating.
Hearts have identified Premiership veteran Derek McInnes as their preferred candidate. A formal approach to Kilmarnock is expected on Monday.
McInnes can be a polarizing figure in Scotland, even among fans of Aberdeen, for whom he delivered such consistent results over eight years.
His track record is undeniably impressive... a League Cup triumph with Aberdeen in 2014 and a top-six finish at Rugby Park last term.
