In October 2014, McEwan took on his first managerial position at Arthurlie, however he returned to take charge of former club Glenafton three months later. [7] [8]

On 11 October 2020, McEwan resigned as manager of Glenafton. [9] The club had released a statement earlier announcing they would not be participating in the inaugural season of the West of Scotland League due to concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. [10]
