Oran Kearney Named As New St Mirren Manager
Oran Kearney has been appointed as the new manager of St Mirren.
The 40-year-old will join the Scottish club on a three-year deal and replaces Alan Stubbs, who was sacked earlier this week.
He previously led Coleraine to second in the Irish Premiership and victory in the Irish Cup last season.
Speaking on his appointment, Oran said: "It's been a rollercoaster 72 hours to be honest. It's all been very surreal.
"I had an interview in the summer that went well and I got a really good feeling about the people in charge at the club.
"I didn't get the job at that point but I said what's for you won't go by you and here I am."
St Mirren Chief Executive Tony Fitzpatrick said: "We are absolutely delighted to have Oran in as our new manager.
"He is a highly impressive individual and I look forward to working with him."
