Hibernians FC announced that they reached an agreement with coach Stefano Sanderra over a new two-year contract.
The Italian coach had been at the helm of Hibernians for the past four seasons, during which time he helped nurture a very strong group of players who finally reach their peak performance in 2021-22 when they managed to be crowned as Malta champions.
Sanderra’s contract expired at the end of the season and talks were immediately started between the club and the Italian coach over a contract extension.
After a few days of talks, an agreement was finally reached that saw Sanderra put pen to paper on a two-year contract.
The confirmation of Sanderra will certainly be a huge boost for the Paolites who will be looking to make another strong run in the UEFA club competitions that sees them compete in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
Last season, Hibernians were on the verge of rewriting history in Maltese football when they came agonisingly close to reaching the Play-off Round of the UEFA Conference League only to be denied by a controversial defeat to Latvian side FC Riga.
Added to that, a successful defence of the Premier League title will be high on the agenda of the Paolites who will be keen to remain at the top of Maltese football.
