Hibs have tonight announced that CEO Ben Kensell has left the club.
After three-and-a-half-years in Edinburgh, the former Norwich City chief has agreed to part ways with immediate effect.
Speaking to the official club website, Hibs owners the Gordon family said:
“We’d like to thank Ben for all his hard work and leadership over the last three-and-a-half-years, and we will be forever grateful for the support he provided our family after Ron’s passing. As a club, we have made positive strides forward under Ben’s guidance, and he will be leaving the Club in a better place.
"We’re always looking at the future of the Club, and after discussions with Ben, we mutually decided that it was the right time to part ways. We wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
HIBERNIAN-MAD VIEW:
We've got to admit, we didn't see that one coming.
Despite Kensell being under fire from sections of the support, he seemed to be in it for the long term.
Kensell has done some good things for the club off the field, but the manager merry-go-round at the club and mixed recruitment since his arrival, heaped the pressure on him.
It's probably best for both Ben and the club that we part ways.
Hibs-Mad would like to thank Ben for his efforts at Easter Road.
