Ali Pour – “When we considered Rodney joining our Club at the beginning of last season we knew that he had the potential and drive to be our Manager in the future – that was the reason we recruited him. Rodney has now been at the club for 1.5 years and knows the players, staff, workings of the club and we are sure that he will hit the ground running. He will have the full support of myself and the Glentoran Board moving forward”
Rodney McAree – “I am delighted and excited to be given the opportunity to manage this great football club. This possibility had been discussed when I joined the Club; I did not expect it to happen so soon but I feel ready and hungry to get started to strive towards the success that everyone associated with Glentoran Football Club deserves. We have a hugely talented squad and now we all need to work together to get back to winning ways to achieve success in the future.
I’d like to thank Ali Pour and the GFC Board for placing their trust in me and thanks to Michael McDermott and Paul Millar for bringing me to Glentoran and developing this opportunity to take the Club forward”
