New Hibernian supervisor Nick Montgomery intends to show the doubters mistaken in the identical model his “inspiration” Ange Postecoglou did with Celtic.
Montgomery, who guided the Central Coast Mariners to final season’s A-League title, has signed a three-year cope with Hibs, who’re tenth on the Scottish Premiership ladder with simply three factors from 4 video games.
“I really want to push this club forward, bring a real work ethic and a style of play supporters will enjoy watching,” Montgomery mentioned.
“I’ll try to bring a new identity to the club, and that’s not easy to do, but with hard work on the training ground and the buy-in from the players, staff, and community, then it’s possible.
“Right now, we aren’t where we should be in terms of the league position at the start of the season, but that is my responsibility now to put the belief into the players and to create an environment where everybody wants to come into training, not just the players but the staff too.
“We need everyone to be together and to buy into the long-term vision of making Hibs successful.”
Montgomery, 41, mentioned he had been stirred by the success of former Socceroos boss Postecoglou, who, after tasting title glory as a coach in Australia and Japan, led Scottish giants Celtic to 5 trophies in two seasons regardless of his appointment in June 2021 having been mocked by many.
“He is a real football man,” Montgomery instructed BBC Scotland when requested about Postecoglou, who has began properly in his new job as supervisor of English Premier League membership Tottenham.
“He is an inspiration to me and football coaches around the world.
“People doubted him, I enjoy people doubting me as well, so to be here today (at Hibs), I’m really proud and looking forward to the journey ahead.”
Montgomery’s first sport in control of Hibs is on Sunday morning (AEST) towards Kilmarnock.
