Galway United can confirm that first team manager Tommy Dunne has left the club with immediate effect.

The club would like to thank Tommy for his hard work and dedication in the three seasons following Galway United’s return to the League of Ireland, including achieving promotion in his first season and reaching the EA Sports Cup Final in his second season with the club.

Unfortunately, the club has not made the required progress this season and a recent run of poor results has led the board to the decision that a change in management is required.

Everyone at the club wishes Tommy all the best in the future.

There will be no further comment from the club on this matter.

A statement regarding the search for a new manager will be made in due course.
