Managerial Update

COLERAINE FC would like to update supporters regarding the managerial vacancy at the club…

Coleraine FC received over 30 expression of interests in relation to the present managerial vacancy.

The Chairman and Board have considered these in depth. We have conducted a number of interviews with potential managers and identified an individual, although he had not expressed an interest, whom we believed was the person to fill the position.

During the last fortnight we were in discussion with Dundalk FC seeking permission to speak with Ruaidhri Higgins but this was refused.

As a result we were unable to pursue this any further and, like ourselves we believe Dundalk clearly see his potential. We wish him and Dundalk FC every success.

As a result we have asked our present back room staff to continue with the preparations for the new season as we actively consider a number of others for the position.
