Cork City appoint Paul Farrell as new first-team manager after Ronan Collins leaves the club

Women’s National League side Cork City have confirmed the appointment of Paul Farrell as their new first-team boss until the end of the season.

Farrell was previously the club’s assistant manager and was caretaker manager following the departure of Ronan Collins.

He has previous coaching experience with UCC and Munster Senior League side Lakewood Athletic.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be taking on the role,” Farrell told City’s media team.

“I have really enjoyed my time with the club and am very excited at this new challenge.

"I work with the players and the staff every day and I know how much all of them want to succeed for the club, so we will all be redoubling our efforts to start climbing up the table when the league resumes.

“We have a lot of very talented players in this group, some excellent staff and I know that the support is there from the club as a whole, so we will all be working together, and I am confident that we will see results on the back of that.”

Cork City chairman Declan Carey added: “We are very pleased that Paul is taking on the role.

“He knows the squad, and the club, extremely well and is very well placed to build on the great work that he has been part of up to now.

“We all look forward to working closely with Paul over the coming months and will give him every support we can to progress the team.”
