Former Donegal stalwart Rory Kavanagh has been named as the new boss of Derry side Glen.
The Letterkenny schoolteacher and All-Ireland winner replaces Malachy O’Rourke who took over as Tyrone manager in September.
Kavanagh, who had been tipped as a possible Donegal manager before Jim McGuinness returned to the fold last season, is highly-rated.
He lifted the Sam Maguire in 2012 and also won three Ulster titles with his county in his playing days.
He also managed of his former club St Eunan’s in November 2020, leading them to their first Donegal SFC title in seven years in his first season as manager.
Kavanagh left the club at the end of the 2023 championship.
Glen were stunned 1-12 to 2-8 by Newbridge in the Derry Senior Football final last month.
They are hoping Kavanagh can be the man to lead them back to on the glory trail.
