Edinburgh's "Hearts", which includes seven Lithuanian footballers, has a new coach again - temporarily Eugenijus Riabovas.
After Valdas Ivanauskas temporarily stepped down from the position of head coach at "Hearts" at the end of October due to health problems, his place was taken by 64-year-old football specialist from Belarus Eduardas Malofejevas.
However, as reported by the "Hearts" club, E. Malofejevas has temporarily stepped down from his duties to acquire a UEFA professional coach license. In the meantime, the Belarusian will be replaced by Lithuanian Eugenijus Riabovas, who this year won the "A Lyga" championship title with the "Kauno" team.
E. Riabovas has become the seventh coach of "Hearts" in the last 21 months since the club was acquired by Lithuanian businessman Vladimir Romanovas.
The "Kauno" coach arrived in Edinburgh just a week ago and yesterday watched the Scottish "Premier" league match between "Falkirk" and "Hearts", which ended 1-1. In the last two A Lyga matches, "Kauno" was led by A. Ramoška.
Meanwhile, Valdas Ivanauskas' future remains unclear. At the beginning of this month, he stated that he has not fully recovered from health problems and intends to rest for a while.
