Steven Naismith will remain part of the coaching team at Hearts but Frankie McAvoy has been named as the club's new head coach.
The former Scotland forward took interim charge of the side last season following Robbie Neilson's departure, securing a fourth-placed finish and Europa League football.
Naismith has been named as the club's new technical director as he does not have the Pro Licence qualification needed to manage a team in European football.
The 36-year-old cannot begin to obtain the licence until next year, so McAvoy has been named head coach with Gordon Forrest confirmed as a first-team coach.
They have signed contracts until the summer of 2025 with the option of a further year at Tynecastle Park.
Paul Gallacher will remain as the club's goalkeeping coach.
