The Republic of Ireland joins the First Division champions after Ian Morris left the club, making the step up from their under-17s side to take up his first senior managerial role.

The 42-year-old Boys in Green great has enjoyed coaching stints with Shamrock Rovers, Celtic and also under Stephen Kenny's Ireland squad in recent years.

"I'm delighted to take up the manager's position at Shelbourne," he said.

"Having coached and managed our U17 National league team and been around the club, I can see the plans and ambition in place here and am excited to begin a new chapter of Shelbourne’s 126-year history.

"I’m extremely passionate about youth development in Ireland and about Irish football in general and see this as a great opportunity to help build something that both the club, its fans and myself can be proud of.

"With the club now in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, and the foundations being put in place by the board and its directors, I can’t wait to start."
