John Collins takes charge of Sporting Charleroi
JOHN COLLINS returned to football management this week.
The former Everton midfielder has been appointed manager of Belgian side Sporting Charleroi.
The 40-year-old replaced Thierry Siquet and will be assisted by Tommy Craig, who was also his number two at Hibernian.
He said: "I have discovered very motivated and enthusiastic people in charge here and a very ambitious club."
Collins played for Hibs, Celtic and Monaco before signing for Everton in 1998. He stayed for two years before moving on to Fulham and hung up his boots in 2003.
He took over at Hibs in October 2006 and won the Scottish League Cup the following year but quit in December 2007.
Collins was the only British candidate interviewed by West Ham before they appointed Gianfranco Zola in September.
