Bohemians have confirmed that they will advertise the vacant manager's post here and in Britain over the coming days with a view to hiring Stephen Kenny's successor within the next two weeks.

"We've had a number of enquiries already but we want to cast our net as wide as we can before making any decisions," said club secretary Gerry Cuffe yesterday.

"We have discussed the overall situation at the club and we are committed to the idea of full-time professionalism, so ideally we would be looking for somebody who has experience of running a full-time club and all that entails.

While the search for the new manager continues Gary Howlett will remain in charge for the forthcoming Derry City and Drogheda United league games.
