Hearts need a new manager

Looks like Craig Levein's going to be the new Leicester City manager! :(

IF its true, hopefully John Robertson will get the Hearts job but the talk is it'll be Anatoly Byshovets (former Russia manager)!!! :eek:

Bychovets was a former temporary manager of the South Korean national side in the mid-1990s, but he was primarily hired to run the Olympic team. I did a wee bit of research on him for an article about foreign coaches in Korea and turned up an interesting article - he is a former KGB Colonel too and coached Dynamo Moscow at one point.

The above article is by the man who worked as Bychovets' interpreter during his time in Korea...

... and this was the article I wrote (not much about Bychovets in there though ;) )

Thanks for the info HJ

Well Levein has gone and it seems Bychovets will definitely be involved at Hearts in the future, either as director of football or as manager.

Maybe Robbo's the man afterall! :D

Hooray, John Robertson off to Hearts and then the Jakey Farmer back to Inverness... :D

Is there any way that both Dundee United and Inverness could be relegated in that case? ;)

Good news for Levein, possibly Robertson and the other SPL sides! Bad news for Hearts and ICT though, what a shame... :D

It is slightly possible that Robbo might not leave Caley. Obviously the appeal of managing a club that regards him as a legend will be huge but, I think it will all depend Bychovets role at Hearts.

The Bychovets role now looks like simply being a scout in Eastern Europe.
