It's after Niall Currie quit to take over at Portadown
Colin Nixon says he intends to hit the ground running as the new Ards boss.
The 38-year-old made almost 800 appearances for Glentoran.
He took over at the north Down club last night and says he's already preparing for his opening match, away to Coleraine on Saturday.
