"There's going to be a lot of candidates, you look at the likes of Derek McInnes, Steve Robinson and Malky Mackay, all very good managers in the league. There will be a host of people wanting that job."Former Hibernian player Stuart Lovell assesses Lee Johnson's departure and the candidates linked with taking over at Easter Road"I don't think it's inmake up to become a manager, at least not yet. I don't think he would be on the shortlist.
Following Saturday's home defeat to Livingston, Johnson had hoped the Hibs board would stand by him despite losing their opening three Scottish Premiership games.:"I genuinely do apologise because I didn't want to start like this. I was full of beans - I still am - going into the season and this has caught us out a little bit.
"It's unacceptable, I understand that. I'm okay to take responsibility for that knowing I still have belief in the squad. I think the squad still believe in us and what we're doing and are as frustrated as anybody.Johnson had hoped to remain in charge at Easter Road after the defeat against Livingston
