Jim Magilton says it's "an honour" to become Cliftonville's new manager as the club moves towards a new full-time model.
The North Belfast Reds finally confirmed their new boss on Tuesday following weeks of speculation and rumour.
Stephen McDonnell, Gareth McAuley and Kris Lindsay were some of the other names being linked with the post, but former Northern Ireland captain Magilton has finally got the nod and has brought in ex-Cliftonville boss Gerard Lyttle as his assistant.
