St Johnstone in talks with Tiernan Lynch for manager role

Tiernan Lynch is on the verge of becoming the new manager of St Johnstone after the club reached a compensation agreement with his current team, Larne. Lynch, who has achieved significant success in the Irish League, is expected to bring his brother Seamus and Gary Haveron into his coaching staff. The urgency for a managerial change comes after St Johnstone's recent heavy defeat to Celtic, which highlighted the need for defensive improvements. Caretaker manager Andy Kirk acknowledged the team's shortcomings and emphasized the importance of learning from mistakes to avoid future issues. David Healy, Linfield's manager, praised Lynch's understanding of the game and expressed confidence in his potential success in Scotland, suggesting that Lynch's move could be a significant step in his managerial career. The club is keen to make a swift announcement regarding Lynch's appointment, indicating their desire to stabilize the team and improve performance in the league.
