Declan Devine poised to leave Glentoran amid poor start to season
Summary

Glentoran manager Declan Devine is set to depart after a disappointing start to the Irish Premiership season. The club sits eighth in the table with seven points from six games and has gone winless in their last three league matches. Devine's last game ended in a 1-1 draw with Bangor, resulting in discontent among the home supporters. Despite winning the County Antrim Shield in the 2024-25 season, significant investments in the squad have not translated to league success. Glentoran faces Coleraine next while searching for a new manager for the fourth time since January 2023.
