Glentoran manager Declan Devine has signed a new two-and-a-half year contract to remain at the Oval until 2027.
Devine was appointed in March, initially on an interim basis after Warren Feeney left the role before signing a permanent deal in April.
In his first full campaign in charge, Devine has guided the club to the County Antrim Shield final and quarter-finals of the BetMcLean Cup.
The Glens are fifth in the Irish Premiership table after a squad overhaul which saw 12 new players arrive in east Belfast along with 18 departures.
“I’m fully committed to building something truly special here at Glentoran,” said Devine, who won the Irish Cup as a goalkeeper with the club in 1996.
“My vision is to create a team that plays a distinctive style of football, consistently competes for silverware, and brings pride and joy to everyone associated with the club.
“Together, I’m confident we can achieve great things worthy of this club’s proud history.”
Glentoran owner Ali Pour added that Devine has “been a breath of fresh air” since joining the club.
“This contract reflects our commitment to his long-term vision,” he added.
“He is building a culture of excellence and a team that represents the values of Glentoran, both on and off the pitch.
“I have no doubt that with Declan at the helm, we will continue to grow, compete, and make our supporters proud.”
