Declan Devine has concluded his two-and-a-half-year spell at Glentoran following a challenging period that saw the club fail to secure its first league title in seventeen years.
The 54-year-old manager departed after just five months as Dungannon Swifts boss, seeking a new challenge closer to home.
During his tenure at the Oval, Devine guided Derry City to victory in the County Antrim Shield during the 2024-25 campaign.
Despite silverware on the shelf, supporters remain eager for a return to the Irish Premiership after a long drought of domestic league success.
Martin Lynch is among those being considered for the vacant role at Glentoran following his recent exit from Derry City.
The 50-year-old manager secured back-to-back Irish Premiership championships while leading Inver Reds to their first European campaign.
Lynch also helped Cliftonville reach the Europa Conference League play-offs after a third-place finish in the 2022-23 season.
He previously managed his hometown side Dungannon Swifts, where they lifted the Irish Cup for the first time ever two seasons ago.
It is currently unclear whether any managerial appointments will be confirmed if the Toronto Investment Group's acquisition of Cliftonville proceeds as anticipated.
