Hearts' upcoming three games, Steven Naismith acknowledges, will play a significant role in determining if he is given consideration for the manager's position on a permanent basis.After Robbie Neilson was fired, the 36-year-old former Jambos captain was given the reins and will hold them through the end of the current campaign.
Hearts, who are in a three-way tie with Aberdeen for third place in the Scottish Premiership, have won four of their last four games under Naismith. Hearts will end the season at home against the Dons and Hibernian before traveling to face Rangers on Wednesday.
When asked if he thought the remaining games will affect what the Hearts board decided to do next, Naismith responded, "Absolutely.
The organization has always requested that I lead the team through the completion of the current campaign before conducting a season-ending review.We've reached the midway point of that, and these next three games will undoubtedly affect what happens.
“That may not simply be based on performance; it may also take into account how we play, how we perform during games. There are many factors that will go into the club's choice.
When asked if he wants to stay in the position, Naismith, who has been managing Hearts B since hanging up his boots, replied: "I'll probably decide that at the end of the season."There haven't been any bad things at all; it's been fantastic. But I've always maintained that the choice of when and where I will serve as a manager must be appropriate for me. In any case, I'm trying to avoid getting too excited.Beyond this season, there have been no discussions, and I'm okay with that.
The fact that VAR did not request referee David Dickinson to assess the Austrian's challenge on Mark O'Hara while Hearts were down 2-1 continues to perplex the interim manager.The fact that VAR was used in our most recent two games and that Naismith felt both decisions were incorrect was what disappointed him the most.
