New Hearts manager

The Cincinnati Reds have terminated manager David Bell's contract, marking a shift in focus towards the 2025 season amid a disappointing 76-81 record this year. Former player Skip Schumaker has emerged as the early favorite to replace Bell, following his success in winning the National League Manager of the Year Award in 2023. Meanwhile, in Scottish football, Hearts have parted ways with manager Steven Naismith after a poor start to the 2024/25 season, leaving them at the bottom of the Premiership with no wins. Alex Neil is considered the leading candidate to succeed Naismith, with other contenders including Stephen Robinson and Derek McInnes. Both teams are now looking for new management to revitalize their performances as they approach critical stages in their respective seasons.
