Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography Eddie May (born 30 August 1967) is a former Scottish football player and coach.

Playing career

He played as a midfielder and full back for several clubs, including Hibernian, Falkirk and Motherwell during the 1980s and 1990s. When he joined Brentford in July 1989, May's £167,000 transfer fee was a then-club record.[1]

Coaching career

After retiring as a player, May became a coach, developing young players for Falkirk.[2] May was appointed as the manager of Falkirk in June 2009, with former player Steven Pressley and Alex Smith assisting him.[2][3] His first competitive game was a 1–0 victory over FC Vaduz in the UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds, although Falkirk eventually lost their first ever European tie 2–1 on aggregate, becoming the first British club to lose a European tie to a club from Liechtenstein.[4] May developed a reputation for being brutally honest during his spell in charge at Falkirk.[4] May resigned as Falkirk manager soon afterwards, however, with the team bottom of the SPL.[5]

May returned to football in June 2010, becoming a youth coach with Rangers.[6] He was appointed high performance coach at the University of Stirling in August 2012.[7][8] May returned to boyhood club Hibernian in August 2014 when he became their academy coaching manager.[9] He was put in caretaker charge of the Hibernian first team in January 2019, after Neil Lennon was suspended by the club.[10] After his first game in charge, May said that he was not interested in becoming a manager again because he had not enjoyed that role at Falkirk.[11] May took charge of four games until Paul Heckingbottom was appointed head coach.[12] May was again placed in caretaker charge in November 2019, after Heckingbottom was sacked.[13] He managed one game during this spell, a 4–1 win at St Johnstone.
