Nevio Scala and Aleksey Mikhailichenko admitted to being interested in the opportunity to become the new head coach of Edinburgh.
Both well-known specialists were among the candidates to coach the Scottish vice champions back in 2005, but at that time these duties were entrusted to Lithuanian Valdas Ivanauskas.
Both former Dortmund Borussia and Porto club strategist N.Scala and former Glasgow Rangers representative N.Mikhailichenko told the BBC that they would seriously consider the opportunity to lead Hearts, but have not yet received any specific offers.
Truth be told, the name of Stephen Frail is also mentioned among the real candidates.
Currently, this former Hearts defender is an assistant to interim head coach appointed by sports director Anatoliy Korobochka, and unofficially, he made a very good impression on club owner Vladimir Romanov during a recent training camp in Germany.
Meanwhile, speaking about the upcoming season, S.Frail said that the Edinburgh team needs to add several high-class players in order to achieve something not only in the national championship, but also in European cup competitions.
"We need five or six good footballers," the coach said. "I know what V.Romanov wants, and he knows what we need to be able to compete successfully. Planning has already begun - we must monitor the desired players and be able to offer them such conditions that they would agree to play in Edinburgh without hesitation."
