Hearts boss Daniel Stendel is expected to leave the club following their relegation to the Championship.

The German is under contract at Tynecastle until 2022 however his terms only apply to life in the top tier.

This means he is now out of contract following the drop.

The managers' agent, Timo Rodewald, previously confirmed to Herald and Times Sport that life would be "uncertain" if the Jambos were unable to change clubs' minds on league reconstruction - a bid which went on to fail with the SPFL declaring a line drawn under talks.

"There's a lot of uncertainty for Daniel's personal future because he has a contract until 2022," Rodewald told H&T Sport last week. "As long as there's not a final decision about reconstruction or whether Hearts stay in the Premiership, we cannot do anything but wait.

"If I had another club interested in signing him and then in three weeks Ann was successful, he would still be under contract. He's not looking desperately for other clubs but it does make it uncertain."

Stendel's coaching staff are also expected to follow the boss out the door at Tynecastle after just seven months at the helm.
