Tim Clancy signs new two-year deal with Drogheda United

Drogheda United boss Tim Clancy and assistant Kevin Doherty have signed new two-year deals with the Co Louth club.

The pair have been at the helm since the start of the 2018 season and led the club to the Premier Division last season.

And Drogheda have more than held their own in the top flight, sitting fourth just over halfway through the campaign.

Clancy said: “Things are going really well this year and we’re hoping we can build on that next year.

“We’ve a young team and if we can keep all the lads we have and add a bit more to the squad, which we’re looking into next year, then there’ll be exciting times ahead.

“It’s the perfect place for myself to be at the moment, I love it here and I’m not looking to go anywhere.

“I advised them to get a deal sorted and it’ll keep me here for the next two seasons,” said Clancy.

And Drogheda United chairman Conor Hoey said: “Tim has proven himself to be the top young manager in the league.

“He’s going to go on to have a huge career in management but, in the meantime, we are delighted he’s staying with Drogheda.”
