Roy Walker has been offered the chance to succeed Roy Coyle

Glens officials made their approach to Walker after Saturday's 3-0 victory over Coleraine at the Oval.

Walker said he would give the offer "serious consideration" but told the club not to expect an instant response.

Walker, who has business interests and is also heavily involved in church ministry, has made it clear he could not manage a club on a full-time basis.

"The Glens have been used to having a full-time boss - on that premise nothing could get off the ground," Walker told BBC Sport.

"I can't devote that amount of time but if they think I could help in some way then I would consider it."

Former Northern Ireland captain Alan McDonald is also in the frame to succeed Roy Coyle, who resigned on Thursday after a poor run of results.

McDonald, who won 52 caps, worked as an assistant coach at Swindon Town and coached the Northern Ireland senior team when Sammy McIlroy was in charge.

"I would be a fool not to be interested in the job," he told the News Letter.

Other names being mentioned as possible successors at the Oval include former Northern Ireland international Michael O'Neill.

Coyle's former assistant Jimmy Brown, now in charge at Glenavon, has ruled himself out.

Tommy Kincaid, who was Coyle's assistant at the club, is currently in charge of the team in a caretaker capacity.
