David Dunn eyeing permanent Oldham Athletic job

Oldham Athletic player-manager David Dunn admits that taking up the managerial position on a full-time basis at Boundary Park is something that interests him.

David Dunn has stated that he would be open to taking up the vacant Oldham Athletic managerial job on a permanent basis.

The former England international was appointed interim player-manager at Boundary Park following the sacking of Darren Kelly last weekend.

Ahead of his first match in charge, a trip to fellow early-season strugglers Doncaster Rovers, Dunn has acknowledged the importance of winning games if he is to land the position full-time.

"It's certainly something I'd be wanting to do, but all managers are judged on results," he told Sky Sports News. "If I get results and it's something I enjoy then it's a possibility.

"I don't want to get too much ahead of myself. I think it's important we go on Saturday and there's a reaction from all the players. I suppose the lucky thing is I've only been at the club six or seven weeks as a player.

"Although you get a bit of a bond, I wouldn't say I've become too close with a lot of them. They're a good group, they want to work hard, and hopefully that can carry on on match days."

Dunn joined Oldham on a free contract during the summer to bring an end to his 13-year stint at Blackburn Rovers, spanning across two separate spells at the Lancashire outfit.
