Neil Lennon is interested in becoming the next Hibernian manager, but is seeking assurances over the club's budget, according to Sky sources.
Lennon and his representatives met with Hibernian chief executive Leeann Dempster and the club's head of football operations George Craig on Friday to discuss the vacant managerial position at Easter Road.
Sky sources understand Lennon was impressed by the vision sold to him by Dempster and Craig, but is keen to know what resources will be at his disposal if he does decide to take up the role at the Scottish Championship club.
The former Celtic and Bolton manager has also made it clear that he would want to bring his own backroom team to the club.
Sky sources understand Lennon would want Gary Parker, his assistant at Celtic and Bolton, to join him at Hibs if he agrees to take on the job.
Hibs have been searching for a new manager since Alan Stubbs left to join English Championship side Rotherham on a three-year deal.
Sky sources understand there are three other candidates under consideration, including Malky Mackay and former Hibs boss Alex McLeish.
McLeish joined Hibs in 1998 and lead them to the Scottish First Division title in his first season at the club.
He kept them in the top-flight for the following two seasons before leaving to become Rangers manager in 2001.
