First Team Manager Statement

Following a lengthy and extensive process, Longford Town Football Club have selected a new manager of the Senior Men's team.

The club wish to acknowledge the high caliber of all the candidates who applied and thank them for the time and effort put into their applications and interviews.

The club are delighted to announce that Daire Doyle has been appointed first team manager.

Taking over in an interim capacity towards the end of the 2019 season, Daire and the team secured a playoff spot before eventually bowing out to Cabinteely FC on penalties. Speaking to LTFC's Media Manager James Donnelly earlier today, Daire revealed his delight in being appointed manager and his eagerness to get started.

I'm really delighted to be announced as manager of LTFC. It is a proud moment for myself, my family and my staff. The work starts now in preparing for the 2020 season for the club and I can't wait to get going. C'mon De Town!

Daire will make his first appearance as First Team Manager at Longford Town's awards night next week on Friday 8th November at the Longford Arms Hotel.
