Hearts head coach Valdas Ivanauskas is set to resume his position at Tynecastle on Monday after being granted a period of leave last month because of poor health.
The news comes after weeks of uncertainty at the club culminating in the announcement that FBK Kaunas coach Egenijus Riabovas would take charge of team affairs while Ivanauskas' initial replacement, Eduard Malofeev, took a break.
Ivanauskas told the club's official website: "It was long, but it was also a short time but I needed this rest because it was very hard and now I feel very good.
"I start on Monday with the team. My problems are my problems, but now I feel good and ready.
"We need points now. Our priority is the next game against Inverness.
"Our situation is not good, but I think it has been a learning time. Tomorrow we need three points and after tomorrow's game we will see what the situation is. Our situation needs points."
