Guillaume Beuzelin Hibernian youth coach

The Frenchman spent four years at Easter Road after arriving from Le Havre in 2004.

Beuzelin moved on to Coventry City and had a brief spell with Hamilton Academical before heading for Cyprus.

He returned to Scotland and had a successful trial with Kilmarnock, but his hopes of a contract were dashed when he failed a medical and he retired as a result of a series of injuries.

Now Beuzelin has been assigned the task of coaching Hibs' under-14 team.

"I've been asked by the club to come back and to become a coach of the youth academy," he told the Edinburgh club's website.

"It is a club that I'm very passionate about and I'm looking forward to the challenge.

"I've been told there are no former players coaching within the youth system.

"I'm a former player, so I know and love Hibs, but I'm also foreign, so hopefully I can bring some different ideas.

"With all my experience of playing in different countries, I hope to be able to bring something different and beneficial to the club and help to develop quality Hibs players."
