Hearts majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov has confirmed that coach Anatoly Korobochka and assistant Stephen Frail will stay in their posts at the SPL outfit next season.

The pair were installed at Tynecastle after previous boss Valdas Ivanauskas left in March. Joining them will be Bulgarian Angel Cernekov, now in charge of the reserves.
"We will be working with the same team as it is now plus there will be an assistant, Angel Cernekov," Romanov told the club's website. "He will be in charge of the reserve team."
Romanov is a controversial figure in Edinburgh. He got rid of successful manager George Burley in 2005 after only 10 matches with the club top of the table.
He had a public spat with then club captain Steven Pressley - since transferred to Celtic - last season then bizarrely labelled journalists as monkeys after criticism came his way.
However, he hinted that he is looking for a quieter time in the coming campaign.
"I wish for us to only be in charge of football questions," he continued. "I want them to deal with just football, rather than problems created for us."
Hearts finished fourth last season after a solid finish and will face city rivals Hibernian in the opening game of the coming campaign.
