Glentoran make approach for Cliftonville boss Magilton
Glentoran identify Cliftonville manager Jim Magilton as their preferred candidate to take over from Declan Devine.
Glentoran have made a formal approach to speak with Cliftonville manager Jim Magilton, indicating their preference for him to take over from current manager Declan Devine. Devine recently left the Oval club following a disappointing start to the season. Magilton, who has been in charge at Cliftonville since 2023, previously led the club to Irish Cup success in the following year.
The 57-year-old, who has extensive experience in the Irish league including stints at Ipswich Town, the Irish FA, Dundalk and Melbourne Victory, would be a strong candidate for the Glens. The Glens are set to meet Magilton in an Irish Premiership fixture at Solitude on Saturday.
