Former island football player Jack Cannon has been appointed as the new manager of the Jersey men's team.

Cannon is Jersey's joint record holder for Muratti appearances at 23 matches.

He'll be joined by Peter Vincenti as lead coach, who served as assistant manager to the former boss Elliot Powell. 

Cannon said: “I’m incredibly honoured to take on this position and to lead the island I played for with so much pride for so many years. Peter and I work really well together.

"His appointment provides us with some continuity from the previous regime, which has performed so well in recent years winning a series of consecutive Murattis and that Island Games gold in 2023.

“I’m keen to get out to watch as many local players as possible over the months ahead to help shape our first squad, and I’m looking forward to getting started.”

The pair will take over from next week and lead the side into next summer's Island Games.

Jersey FA said Jack Cannon pipped nine other candidates to the post for the role.
