Dolan sacked by Cork City
Pat Dolan has been sacked as manager of Cork City after a turbulent week for the club.
Dolan, who guided Cork City to second place in the Eircom League last season, was fired by Cork chairman Brian Lennox on Tuesday evening because of what was fast becoming an unworkable relationship between the two.
The matter reached a head this week after a number of players publicly criticised training facilities in Cork and despite Lennox’s attempts, he could not contact Dolan in order to try to improve the situation.
Dolan failed to turn up at a meeting with the club chairman last Thursday and to make contact in the last number of days, forcing the hand of the club’s board.
Neither Lennox, Dolan or any other Cork official were available for comment, though it is understood that the Cork board believed that sacking Dolan was the only possible action in the circumstances.
According to Cork City’s official website, U-21 coach Stuart Ashton, assisted by Paul Bowdren, is to take temporary charge of the senior squad.
The club hope to have a new manager in place next week.
