From WiFi to 'relief' – how was Ferguson's Irish League debut?

After a 1-1 draw in his first match as Glentoran manager, Duncan Ferguson speaks of his "relief" in a week filled with WiFi and homework. Glentoran rescued a late draw in Duncan Ferguson's first match as manager "Football is football. I've managed in the Premier League, I've managed in Scotland and I've managed here. "The ball is still round, the goals are still in the same spot and it's still 11 v 11." Duncan Ferguson applauded as he walked to the travelling Glentoran support after a battling 1-1 draw with Coleraine, before he gently pumped his fist into the air. It wasn't the three points that he would have dreamt of to start his managerial career in the Irish Premiership, but a fighting point at the leaders gave an insight into what was to come.

The appointment of the former Everton striker was the most high-profile in the Irish League in recent years. After disappointing spells with Forest Green Rovers and Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Ferguson is a manager with a point to prove at a club who also have a similar chip on their shoulder as they look to return to the heights of years gone by.
