Hibs part ways with assistant coach John Potter after Reedijk appointment

John Potter leaves Hibernian after serving as interim head coach for the Aberdeen fixture last week.

Hibernian sporting director Malky Mackay confirmed the departure of assistant first team coach John Potter, following the club's recent appointment of Marink Reedijk as manager.

Potter had joined the club in June 2026 and was elevated to interim head coach for Hibs' most recent William Hill Premiership match against Aberdeen last week, stepping into the role in the absence of a permanent manager.

Mackay's statement indicated that Potter's exit is part of the restructuring process triggered by Reedijk's arrival, though further details regarding the circumstances of the departure were not disclosed.

Why This Matters

The departure signals Hibernian's intent to align its coaching staff under new manager Marink Reedijk, potentially reshaping the team's tactical approach ahead of upcoming fixtures. Potter's brief tenure as interim head coach suggests the club prioritized continuity during the transition, but his exit clears the way for Reedijk to install his own backroom team.
