Bohemian’s long wait for a new manager is over after the club finally appointed Declan Devine.
Devine signs a two-year deal and will take over the reins on Monday having attended tonight’s game away to St Patrick’s Athletic.
The former Derry City manager previously won a league title with his home town club as a player.
“The opportunity to lead this football club is something that really excites me” explains Devine. “For me personally, it gives me so much pride. It is a proud moment for my family too”.
“But we don't have time to celebrate. I have a job to do, I will be completely immersing myself in moving to Dublin, and it will be full pelt from Monday”.
“I am going to do everything in my power to ensure this club is back where it belongs and for me, that means Bohs being back at the top of the table.
“I’m a working class guy from a working class background. My ultimate goal has always been to work as hard as I possibly can to achieve success.
“I want our players and staff to follow the same mantra. I want us to do everything in our power to bring success to this club.
“I want to put together a squad that has an identity with its people and its supporters. The players need to reflect that.”
