Hibs caretaker May not involved in new boss hunt
Hibernian have been inundated with applications for the head coach role made vacant after Neil Lennon's departure in midweek.
The Easter Road club have been keen to get January transfer window dealings out of the way before turning their attention to finding a successor.
The new head coach will also be allowed to bring in his own assistant.
But first-team coach Grant Murray and goalkeeper coach Alan Combe are expected to stay in their roles.
Caretaker boss Eddie May stressed again on Saturday that he is not interested in the role permanently and is keen to return to his position in charge of the youth academy.
"I've got a job that I really enjoy and I'll go back to it," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound ahead of taking charge of his second game as caretaker.
"I shy away from the media. I try to work behind the scenes, do what I do and just get on with it."
May and Murray took charge for Sunday's 3-1 win over St Mirren following Lennon's initial suspension.
"The coaching staff here are very tight and nobody likes change, but unfortunately it's happened," May said.
Applications for the head coach vacancy are still being received, but the process is now under way with a list of potential interviewees being looked at early next week.
Asked how long it would be before Hibs make an appointment, May said: "I think it will be another couple of weeks.
"Next week, a few things might happen. I'll probably be here next Saturday for the Scottish Cup game against Raith Rovers. One thing I'm sure of is Eddie May won't be the next Hibs manager."
Former manager Alan Stubbs has made it known he would be keen on a return to Easter Road.
However, while the Englishman is not exactly being ruled out, it would be a major surprise should he be handed the job again.
