On his departure from Anfield in 1994 Whelan signed for Southend United and became their
player-manager a year later, before being sacked at the end of the 1996–97 season following
their relegation from Division One. He later worked with clubs in Greece such as Panionios and
in Cyprus such as Apollon Limassol but most notably with Olympiakos Nicosia.
His greatest success as a manager, was with Panionios in 1999, when his team reached for
first time the quarter finals of a European competition, the Cup Winners Cup, when they
were eliminated by eventual champions SS Lazio with 0–4 and 0–3.
