New Assistant Boss @ Caley Thistle
Brian Rice has been named as John Hughes' new number 2.
Caley Thistle have found a new assistant manager.
Brian Rice has been named as John Hughes' number 2 after Russell Latapy left the job.
It comes ahead of the club's first ever appearance in the Europa League against Romanian side Astra.
The pair worked together at Falkirk, leading the club to the 2009 Scottish Cup Final.
Manager John Hughes said: “This is the third time Brian and I have linked up as he was my assistant at Falkirk and Hibernian so I have a full insight in to the quality of his coaching and I’m delighted he has agreed to join us."
“Brian is a highly qualified coach and can be a big asset to us as we face the challenge of a new season.”
Rice commented: “I’m very pleased to be working with John Hughes again, as we share an outlook on the game.
"From Qatar, I watched Caley Thistle’s progress last season and you could see they had the stamp of John’s possession football style."
“There is real character and togetherness in their dressing room and I am keen to make a positive contribution to drive the team forward.”
