Duncan Ferguson is appointed manager of Irish Premiership club Glentoran, according to multiple reports. The 54-year-old will take charge of the “Glens,” in what outlets describe as a notably unexpected move in Irish football.
Ferguson’s recent coaching experience comes from Everton, where he twice works as interim assistant/coach following the departures of Marco Silva in 2019 and Rafael Benitez three years later. Other coverage also notes his playing background as a former Scotland striker, including time with major clubs such as Rangers and Everton.
While outlets focus on the element of surprise, they align on the key points: Ferguson is the confirmed new Glentoran manager, he brings experience gained in English football’s managerial setup, and his appointment marks a high-profile return to coaching after roles linked to Everton’s first-team changes.
