Hearts interim coach Fox to leave as McInnes expected to join

Liam Fox will leave Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) at the end of the current season after serving twice as interim head coach this year, including leading the team to three consecutive wins in his latest stint. Fox, who began as the B-team coach, took over after the dismissals of Steven Naismith and Neil Critchley, earning praise for his contributions but will make way for the incoming manager Derek McInnes and his staff. Hearts CEO Andrew McKinlay expressed gratitude for Fox's work both with the first team and the B team, emphasizing the club's desire to start fresh with new management. McInnes, expected to be confirmed soon, will bring assistant Paul Sheerin and first team coach Alan Archibald, leaving no room for Fox on the coaching team. Fox showed emotional resilience in his farewell, focusing on the positive experiences and growth he gained during his time at Hearts. The club aims to finish the season strongly and plans to announce the new managerial appointment shortly.
