The Derry job became vacant on Sunday as managar Roddy Collins was sacked by the Brandywell club.

Shiels has a wealth of managerial experience most notably with Kilmarnock, where he won the Scottish League Cup, and the Northern Ireland Under 17 squad.

His most recent post was with Scottish side Greenock Morton.
