Coleraine have announced a new three-year deal for manager Oran Kearney in a move that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
 
To date Kearney, now in his second spell in charge following a season at St. Mirren, has taken charge of the Bannsiders on 439 occasions to date, a run that has brought success in the Irish and League Cups as well as four stints in Europe.
 
Club chairman Colin McKendry believes Kearney can help the Bannsiders maintain their challenge for honours in the years ahead.
 
"The Board of Directors are delighted that Oran has signed this new contract," he said.
 
"The offer has been on the table for quite some time but we wanted to put our full focus into ending the season well.
 
"Our success in recent seasons is well documented and we believe that Oran can take us even further. This is an exciting time for Coleraine Football Club both on and off the pitch with the redevelopment plans and we want Oran to be a central part of that."
 
“I’ve no doubt that we have a lot to look forward to in the weeks, months and years ahead under Oran’s leadership."
