Sean Connor was manager of Bohemians for a year

Former Bohemians manager Sean Connor is believed to be among the contenders to become the new manager of Coleraine.

The Belfast man is thought to be among those who have submitted an application to succeed Marty Quinn who left to join Bangor after eight years in charge.

Connor was sacked by Bohemians in December after one year in charge.

Bannsiders chairman Hugh Wade has said that a new manager will not be in place until June, with applications for the post remaining open until 31 May.

He told the News Letter that he has been "very encouraged" by the standard of the applications received so far.
