Oxford United boss Robinson linked with Hibernian

Hibernian are keen on hiring Oxford United boss Karl Robinson, reports Daily Record.

Hibernian are without a manager, but the Scottish club are set to begin interviews with potential managerial candidates this week.

And reports coming out of Scotland claim that Oxford United boss Robinson is of ‘serious interest’ to the club.

The 41-year-old Robinson is in his third managerial job in the English Football League. Formerly of MK Dons, Charlton Athletic and now with Oxford United, Robinson is proving himself to be a competent manager in the third tier.

His side narrowly missed out on the League One play-offs in the season just concluded, finishing in 8th after what was another hard-fought season from the U’s.

But the Oxfordshire club could now be dealt a cruel blow with Hibernian taking a strong look at Robinson – Hibs currently sit 8th in the Scottish top flight table.

What next for Robinson?

Robinson has certainly proved himself to be a good manager in the EFL. With Oxford United in particular, Robinson has developed a reputation for playing really attacking and prolific football, but he’s not quite been able to get his side over the line.

He’s also developed a lot of impressive young players who’ve been snapped up by teams higher up in the Football League, so Robinson really does have an all-round game as a manager.

It’s easy to see why Hibernian are interested and after a failed shot at the League One play-offs, it might be an attractive option for Robinson.

It’d certainly be a blow for the U’s if they lose their manager this summer.
