DAMIEN DUFF HAS joined the Shamrock Rovers first-team coaching staff until the end of the season.
The former Republic of Ireland and Chelsea winger concluded his playing career with a brief stint at Rovers in 2015, making nine league appearances, and has been coaching the clubโs U15 team.
He will assist interim manager Stephen Bradley, who recently succeeded Pat Fenlon. Bradley says that the 37-year-old has been โgreatโ to have around.
โDamien has been in with us the last few weeks,โ Bradley said. โHeโs in coaching with myself, Stephen McPhail and Glenn Cronin, so itโs a good mix. Iโve obviously known Damien since he came in as a player. Heโs with the youths so I kept in contact with him and I just like his ideas on the game, heโs been great.
โDamien would have very high standards, heโd call it as he sees it. Itโs good to have that, itโs good to bounce off what he did in his own clubs and what we can implement in our training.โ
In addition to coaching with Rovers, Duff also recently took up a role with the FAI, aiding Colin OโBrien with the U15 national team.
