Fox takes interim charge at Hearts
Liam Fox will step up to become Hearts interim manager while the club searches for a successor to Steven Naismith, who was sacked as head coach on Sunday.
Fox will step up from his role as Hearts B team head coach, and will be assisted Angus Beith and Lee Wallace, starting with Saturday's Premiership match against Ross County at Tynecastle.
"The Board met today to agree a way forward, and the process of identifying and hiring a new management team has already begun," Hearts chief executive Andrew McKinlay said in a statement.
"In the interim, we welcome Liam, Angus and Lee to the first team and will give them all the backing they need, as I’m sure the supporters will, in order to turn around the present situation.
"Updates will be provided to supporters in due course but, in the meantime, I would ask our fans to continue their unrivalled backing of the team when we host Ross County at Tynecastle Park on Saturday as, together, we strive to take positive steps forward."
