Manager Robbie Neilson has signed a new Hearts contract alongside backroom staff members Gordon Forrest and Lee McCulloch.
The management arrangement at Tynecastle have led them to the Championship title, a third-placed Premiership finish last season which guaranteed European football to Christmas and a Scottish Cup final appearance. They sign three-year deals ahead of the new league season starting against Ross County on Saturday.
CEO Andrew McKinlay said: “Everyone at Hearts is delighted that Robbie, Gordon and Lee have committed their long-term futures to the club. The progress the first-team has made in a short space of time is unquestionable and that is in no small part due to the talents, professionalism and determination of the coaching staff. They have raised standards on the park and the entire club has reaped the benefits as we shape up for one of the biggest seasons in the Hearts’ history, and I cannot think of a better trio to lead us into it.”

Sporting Director Joe Savage said: “A tremendous amount of hard work has been undertaken over the past two-years and the results are plain for all to see.
“There has been an improvement in playing style, in performances and, most importantly, in results and Robbie, Gordon and Lee have been integral to that.
“Their professionalism is second to none and anyone lucky enough to have watched them in action will have seen how meticulous they are in everything they do, and that has helped this club return to the top of the Scottish game.
“With a settled and very talented playing squad and coaching staff, I’m excited to see where this group can take us next and I’m sure the fans will be too.”
