Deaths
The following players and people associated with the club died over the course of the season. Former captain Jim Townsend[25] and 2012 Scottish Cup winning captain Marius Zaliukas.[26]
Management
Following football being suspended indefinitely during the previous season due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[27] Manager Daniel Stendel advised the club he would not take any wages during the closed period and returned to Germany.[28] Stendel's contract included a clause which rendered him a free agent should the club be relegated.[29]
Following the vote to end the 2019–20 season and Hearts being relegated on an average points basis,[30] Stendel's contract was ended, rendering him a Free Agent.[31] Despite Stendel indicating he wished to negotiate a new contract,[31] on 21 June 2020, Hearts appointed Dundee United Manager Robbie Neilson,[32] He had previously managed Hearts between 2014 and 2016[33] and was awarded a three-year contract.[1] Stendel's assistants Jorg Sievers and Dale Tonge also departed the club.[34] On 12 August 2020, Neilson's former United assistants Gordon Forrest and Lee McCulloch were appointed as First Team Assistant Managers. They joined on a three year deal.[35]
