Dundalk sporting director Jim Magilton says there has been huge interest in the vacant managerial post at Oriel Park but has ruled himself out of the running for the job on a full-time basis.

The former Ipswich Town and QPR boss took charge of the struggling Co Louth side at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium on Tuesday night following the departures of Shane Keegan and Filippo Giovagnoli from the club at the weekend.
