Image source, SNSHibs interim boss David Gray says he's "100%" ready for the move into management, though that may not be at Easter Road.
The 36-year-old is in his fourth spell as caretaker manager following the sacking of Nick Montgomery earlier in the week.
He took up similar roles after the departures of Jack Ross, Shaun Maloney and Lee Johnson.
But asked whether he sees himself as capable of taking on a top job in a general sense, Gray brimmed with confidence.
“I’ll always back myself, given the opportunity," he said
"I’ve been in this position four times now and it’s been uncomfortable for a number of reasons, first and foremost because there are people losing their jobs who you have been working with.
“But in terms of backing my ability to be able to do the job, I 100% believe I can do it.
"I’ve demonstrated that now on a few occasions but first and foremost I’m doing what the club have asked me to do. Until my position changes, it’s all about the club.”
Although there has been managerial upheaval at Easter Road in recent years, Scottish Cup winner Gray believes it's still an attractive role for potential suitors.
“It’s a fantastic club and it’s a fantastic job for whoever gets the opportunity to take the club forward,” he added.
“The decisions that are getting made in the background are all to try and move the club forward to where we believe it should be. It’s a challenge but it’s also one someone should be very excited about.”
Image source, SNSDeparting Hibs hero Lewis Stevenson is a "manager's dream", says former Easter Road boss Alan Stubbs.
Stevenson, 36, will leave the Leith side at the end of the season alongside fellow stalwart Paul Hanlon.
Having led Hibs to Scottish Cup glory with the veteran pair in 2016, Stubbs describes Stevenson as a player who was always respected in the dressing room.
“He is literally a manager’s dream – in terms of both his personality, but also his qualities as a player," he told club media.
“He is a player that you know will never let you down and that is a very difficult commodity to find in a player. Sometimes you have players that bring a big personality to the team, or they bring their own ability, but with Lewy – he ticked every box.
“He was an example to others in terms of the way he trained. He gave his best every day no matter what.
“Over a period of time, when you have a dressing room that respects an individual so much – that tells you an awful lot.
“From my point of view, Lewis doesn’t speak all the time – but when he does speak, the players listen. He’s not one to have an opinion every game but when he does speak all the players respect what has to say.
“He is a very quiet individual, but in a good way. He has always wanted the best for Hibs and he has never wanted to leave. There is a lot to say and admire about a player that has been at one club his whole life."
Retiring Hibs women captain Joelle Murray worked with new Easter Road sporting director Malky Mackay in the Scotland set-up and has hailed him as a "fantastic" appointment for the club.

Image source, SNSLewis Stevenson has warned Hibs of their "big mistake" in letting fellow club stalwart Paul Hanlon leave Easter Road.
The two veterans waved goodbye to the home crowd after Hibs thumped Motherwell 3-0 on Wednesday night.
While Steveson says he understands why the time is right for him to move on, he believes Hanlon - who revealed he would have preferred to stay at the club - will be missed in Leith.
“I’ve no complaints and I totally understand the club’s position – I’m 36 and they need to move on at some point,” the defender said.
“But I can probably say this now. I think with Paul it’s a big mistake. He’s shown the last few games how good he can be.
“A left centre-half is very hard to come by, and he’s still playing as well as he’s ever done. Anyone watching that [Motherwell] game, any potential suitors, he’s going to be getting a few offers next season.
“He’s maybe playing with nothing to lose, but even the Aberdeen game [on Sunday], we got beat 4-0 and I still think he was the best player on the pitch.
“Maybe I’m being biased – he’s my old pal and I’ve played a lot of games with him – but he’s still got a lot to offer, and I’m sure somebody’s going to get a good left centre-half.
“Outside the Old Firm – and obviously he’s not going to go to Hearts – there’ll be plenty teams looking at him.”

Image source, SNSEmotional but unforgettable was the overriding feeling from Hibernian's Lewis Stevenson and Paul Hanlon in their Easter Road farewells.
The defensive duo, products of the Hibs academy, have amassed over 1,000 games between them and played their final home fixture for Leith club in Wednesday's win over Motherwell.
The pair were part of the 2016 Scottish Cup-winning side, with 36-year-old Stevenson also claiming a League Cup winners' medal nine years prior.
"This guy beside me is the ultimate Hibs player for me," Hanlon, 34, said of Stevenson. "He has done it all. For what he has done for the club every single day, he can't be topped."
Speaking of Hanlon, Stevenson added: "I’m not just saying this because he is here, but he has given a lot to this club. He was the best player on the park [on Wednesday] and he has made my job a lot easier over the years."
Left-back Stevenson says a lap of honour round Easter Road following the full-time whistle was an experience he will never forget.
Hanlon echoed that view by saying: "I'm really proud of those scenes at the end with the fans and my family. It will live with me forever."

Hibernian began life after Nick Montgomery with an emphatic Scottish Premiership victory over Motherwell.
The Easter Road club, searching for a fifth permanent manager in under three years, ensured club greats Paul Hanlon and Lewis Stevenson a winning farewell in their final home match, and climb above their visitors into eighth place.
A quickfire double in the final five minutes of the first half ignited the contest, Myziane Maolida rolling home a penalty and Martin Boyle volleying into the bottom-left corner.
Boyle blasted Hibs' third beyond Liam Kelly early in the second period, leaving Motherwell labouring in vain to plot a route back.
Were you at the game or following from home? Who should Hibs be eyeing up to replace Montgomery? And should their be a u-turn for Hanlon and Stevenson to be part of the new gaffer's plans?
Interim Hibernian boss David Gray told BBC Radio Scotland: "Tonight was all about Lewis Stevenson and Paul Hanlon and it was a truly fitting way to send them off.
"[Their future] is 100% up to the new manager. The players have shown tonight they are more than capable of playing at this level but that is not a question for me to answer."
Image source, SNSAs usual, while the performances of those around him fluctuate, Myziane Maolida was Hibs' most influential presence. Never rushed; always a menace.
His close control, running power and finishing acumen are a precious cocktail. How Hibs would love to bring the Hertha Berlin loanee back on a permanent basis next term.
Paul Hanlon was a commanding presence in defence on his last home match, making two important blocks and nearly planting a late header beyond Liam Kelly.

The fog hanging over Easter Road seemed an apt metaphor for the malaise engulfing Hibernian. The club has lurched from one calamitous footballing decision to the next, heaping pressure upon those making the calls. Newly appointed sporting director Malky Mackay peered through the haar from the West Stand and must understand the vast scale of his task in hiring yet another manager, and sculpting a new team for him to coach.
Gray has stepped in for a remarkable fourth time, and oversaw a positive performance. Fluid football, ruthless finishing, and, unusually for Hibs, a largely unflustered defence. You wonder what Montgomery makes of it all.
The ovation from the home fans spoke to the vast contributions of Hanlon and Stevenson as Gray substituted both titans in the dying embers. A combined haul of over 1100 outings, through the horrors and the glory, relegation and a hoodoo-smashing Scottish Cup triumph, and an unerring commitment to the club. Stevenson is the only Hibs player to win both national cups. Hanlon has long skippered the team he grew up adoring. Unassuming and probably underappreciated, both deserved a grander farewell stage than a bottom-six fixture at a half-empty ground against the backdrop of more administrative turmoil.

Image source, SNSRecently-appointed Hibs sporting director Malky Mackay has been speaking to club media in his first interview since taking the role.
Here are the key points:
On some fans being unhappy with his appointment due to discriminatory language in text messages he sent as Cardiff manager, he says he "understands everyone has points of view" and he would like people to "judge me on the person I am". Mackay apologised at the time and admitted the messages were "disrespectful of other cultures".
His role is about "high performance" and ensuring different areas of the club are "performing efficiently".
Mentions sports science, analysis, recruitment and academy as some of the departments he'll be overseeing.
Wants to make their scouting and talent identification as "robust as possible".
Expects to have a "close relationship" with the incoming head coach.
Been drawn to sporting director role in recent years. Points to role at SFA and said position at Ross County was almost “sporting director and manager”.
Highlights structure of Brentford and Brighton and their success, compared to more “historical” clubs who are now languishing in English League One.
Striving for “success” and a “period of calmness”, says he will “support and back” next head coach.
Wants head coach to “coach with ease”, be “a student of the game” and “a people catcher”.
Audit of first team squad might “take a number of transfer windows”.
Brian McDermott will “move over to focus on recruitment”.
Image source, SNSHibs' managerial upheaval in recent years has become "hard to watch", says former Easter Road midfielder David Wotherspoon.
The Leith club are searching for their sixth permanent boss in just over four years following Nick Montgomery's dismissal on Monday.
"It's hard to watch sometimes because I feel like there was a few years there where they had a bit of stability and a bit of direction," the Canada international told BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
"Whereas when I was there, it was like a revolving door of players. There was just players coming in, players going out, managers coming in, managers going out. There's just not that stability.
"But it's down to the people that were making the decisions there, I guess."
Wotherspoon - who played for Hibs between 2009 and 2013 - believes Wednesday's home game with Motherwell should be used to celebrate the contributions of Lewis Stevenson and Paul Hanlon.
The veteran who will wave goodbye to Easter Road as they get set to depart the club after playing more than 1,100 games for Hibs between them.
"More importantly, it's Paul Hanlon and Lewis Stevenson's last games at home.
"They've been massive servants for the club and I think the fans will really enjoy that moment to say goodbye to their heroes because they've certainly made their mark and they’re icons at that club now because they’ve done it all for 20 years.
"They've been through the bad times and been through the good times and they’re certainly people to look up to for young kids trying to inspire to be professional footballers."

Image source, SNSFormer Hibernian captain Ian Murray refused to be drawn on the early links to the Easter Road vacancy on Tuesday night.
The Raith Rovers manager has emerged as a potential candidate to replace Nick Montgomery, 12 years after he left the club as a player.
The 43-year-old guided the Stark's Park side to second in the Scottish Championship this season and is in the midst of the Premiership promotion play-offs.
But Murray, who enjoyed two spells at Hibs, insists his "full focus" is on leading the Kirkcaldy club back to the Scottish Premiership for the first time since 1997.
"It's always unfortunate when someone loses their job," he told BBC Scotland before Rovers' narrow play-off semi-final first leg win against Partick Thistle.
"I know Nick, I played with him and roomed with him for Scotland Under-21s so my first thought is it's very unfortunate for him and his staff.
"On my side of it, I'm fully focused on trying to get Raith Rovers into the Premiership."
Image source, SNSHibernian are winless in four league meetings with Motherwell (D2 L2) since a 3-2 victory in January 2023.
Both sides have scored in each of the last five league matches between Hibernian (eight goals) and Motherwell (10 goals), with Hibs the last side to keep a clean sheet in this fixture in October 2022 (1-0 win).
Hibernian have won their final home league game in both of the last two seasons, beating St. Johnstone 4-0 in 2021-22 and Celtic 4-2 last term.
Including the curtailed 2019-20 season, Motherwell have only won their final away league game in one of the last nine seasons (D3 L5), a 1-0 win at Partick Thistle in 2017-18.
Motherwell’s Stuart Kettlewell has only lost one of his nine Scottish Premiership games as a manager against Hibernian (W3 D5), a 0-3 defeat with Ross County while in joint-charge with Steven Ferguson in February 2020.
