Former Blues boss Jim Magilton is reportedly set to be named the new manager of Australian side the Melbourne Victory. Coincidentally, Magilton's successor at Town, Roy Keane, was previously linked with the same job.

Magilton, who has also been linked with Derry City this week, recently missed out on the Northern Ireland management position with his friend Michael O'Neill, who he had been assisting at Shamrock Rovers, beating him to the role.

The 42-year-old is said to have flown to Australia for talks with the A-League side with his appointment believed to be close to being formalised.
