Cork City invite applications for manager position.
Cork City have invited applications for the position of Men’s First Team Manager, which has been vacant since Colin Healy stepped down from the role last week.
It’s been an eventful couple of weeks at Turner’s Cross, with Healy’s resignation coming just a day after the appointment of Liam Buckley as Sporting Director.

Colin Healy.
Healy’s last act as manager was overseeing a 5-0 defeat to Bohemians at Dalymount Park on Bank Holiday Monday, a game after which the former Ireland international was strongly critical of the officials, following the first-half sending off of Ally Gilchrist.
Upon confirming Buckley’s arrival last week, Cork stated that the former St. Patrick’s Athletic manager ‘will focus primarily on player recruitment, along with supporting management on all football-related matters’ in his new Sporting Director role.
