Former Hibs and Sunderland manager Lee Johnson has announced he will be hosting a coaching seminar that will go into all of his football experiences.

Announcing the news via LinkedIn, the Englishman is currently without a club after being sacked by Fleetwood Town. Hibs pulled the trigger on his time at Easter Road at the start of this season, and his tenure with the Cod Army following that lasted just 22 games in charge, losing 10 and winning six.

Johnson found success as manager of Bristol City and was Sunderland manager between 2020-2022. His time at Hibs brought a top six finish and European football in his only full season at the helm, but five defeats from nine at the start of this campaign was enough for him to go, with Nick Montgomery replacing him.

The boss had offered free mentor sessions through his professional social media account before but has now decided to offer two free coaching webinars for coaches of all ages after the response he got. Johnson said: “Finally I’m ready to invite you all, to discuss managing a football club.

"From periodisation, to the interview process and everything in between, we will cover all my experiences… Good and bad, in management and coaching.

"I will go into depth on the given subjects and hopefully there will be lots of interesting scenarios to discuss. I appreciate your patience as I've taken a while to roll these out. The webinars will take place on the evening of 21st March 2024.”
