FORMER Manchester Utd Andrei Kanchelskis wants to be the new manager of Derry City Football Club.
The 46-year-old, who also played for Everton and Rangers before retiring in 2006, threw his hat in the Brandywell ring at the weekend.
Paul Hegarty is currently in charge on a temporary basis after the Candystripes sacked manager Peter Hutton.
Hegarty says he will not decide on his future at the club until the end of the season.
He remains the bookies favourite to take the hot seat.
Ukrainian-born Kanchelskis wants to break into management in England and sees Derry as a stepping stone on his new career path.
His last job in management was with Latvian side FC Jurmala but he only lasted four months before leaving in November 2014.
Before that he was in charge of Russian sides Ufa and Torpedo-ZIL Moscow.
He was also assistant manager at Russian outfit Volga Nizhny Novgorod.
