Cork City advertise manager's job on Facebook as they search for Colin Healy's replacement

Cork City have taken to Facebook in their search for a new manager.

Colin Healy stepped down from the role last week after three seasons in charge, with the club second from bottom in the League of Ireland Premier Division table.

The club legend, who won two FAI Cups and a Setanta Cup as a player with the Leesiders, resigned following a 5-0 defeat to Bohemians at Dalymount Park.

His resignation also came just hours after Cork appointed Liam Buckley as their Sporting Director, but the timing of Healy’s departure was coincidental and unrelated to Buckley’s return to football.

The club have now shared a post on Facebook as they hope to appoint a new manager soon.

It reads: "Cork City Football Club wish to recruit a permanent men’s first team manager.

"The club is inviting applications for the role no later than 5pm on Monday, 15th of May."

Cork say suitable candidates should have "managerial experience in the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland or similar level, ability to work with the club’s Sporting Director to recruit new players and integrate them into the first team squad, comprehensive knowledge of the League of Ireland and local game, strong communication, leadership and interpersonal skills and the ability to work with all areas of the club."

More information on the job and how to apply can be found here.
