Gareth Evans and Alastair Stevenson sacked by Hibs

Hibs have today announced that coaches Gareth Evans and Alastair Stevenson have both been relieved of their duties at the club.

New manager Pat Fenlon has decided to let them both leave the club as he looks to build his own team at Easter Road.

Former striker Gareth Evans re-joined the club when Mixu Paatelainen was manager, and kept his job under both John Hughes and Colin Calderwood.

Stevenson was the man responsible for the emergence of the club's famous "Golden Generation" of youngsters that broke through 5 years ago.

The likes of Scott Brown, Steven Fletcher, Derek Riordan, Garry O'Connor, Ian Murray and Kevin Thomson graduated from the club's academy, then run by Stevenson, and were sold on for fee's that raised somewhere in the region of £17m, that helped all but wipe the club's debt, build the New East Stand at Easter Road, and also paved the way for the club's £5m training facility at East Mains.

Hibernian-Mad would like to thank both for their hard work with the club, and good luck in the future.

The future of assistant manager Billy Brown is still unknown. Brown took charge of the Hibees last two games against Kilmarnock and St Johnstone, and only arrived a few months ago as Colin Calderwood's assistant, after leaving arch rivals Hearts.
