Stephen McBride also played for Linfield in a successful career
Glenavon have appointed former player Stephen McBride as the successor to Terry Cochrane at Mourneview Park.
McBride was part of Cochrane's backroom team along with Alan Fraser, who has been named as Director of Football.
Former Northern Ireland international McBride was a crowd favourite with the Lurgan Blues while Fraser managed the team in the early 1990s.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge - we've big ambitions and it's going to be a rollercoaster ride," said McBride.
"It's big honour for me with it being my hometown club and it's a priviledge to be one of the few ex-players to go on to be part of the management set-up."
The 44-year-old former Linfield forward was offered the job prior to Cochrane's appointment but turned down the opportunity.
