Robbie Neilson returned to Tynecastle as Dundee United boss in a League Cup tie last yearRobbie Neilson says you "don't turn down" a club of Hearts' stature after his shock departure from Dundee United to return to Tynecastle as manager. Neilson, 40, has signed a three-year deal to replace Daniel Stendel. United rejected an approach from Hearts owner Ann Budge on Sunday but, after head coach Neilson made clear his desire to leave, a deal was struck. Neilson left Hearts second in the Scottish Premiership and said he returns to manage "a really good squad". Stendel's contract ended when the Tynecastle club were relegated but he had not officially left the role.
