Hearts appoint Wouter Vrancken as new head coach

Hearts have named Wouter Vrancken as their new head coach, replacing Derek McInnes, who joined Rangers. Vrancken, previously with Sint-Truiden, guided the team to a third-place finish in the Belgian Pro League last season. He aims to build on Hearts' second-place Scottish Premiership finish from last season and compete with Celtic and Rangers. Vrancken has experience managing across five Belgian clubs and has won the Belgian Cup. His first match in charge will be against Sturm Graz in the Champions League qualifying rounds later this month.
