ATHLONE TOWN HAVE announced that Ciarán Kilduff has stepped down as coach of the club’s women’s team.
Kilduff guided Athlone Town to a first ever Premier Division title this season, but they were emphatically defeated 6-1 in the FAI Cup final yesterday by Shelbourne at Tallaght Stadium.
Kilduff’s departure was revealed in the wake of that loss.
“It has been an absolute honour to work with such talented players and dedicated staff,” said Kilduff, in a statement released by the club.
“Winning the Premier Division title with this team is something I will cherish forever. However, after much reflection, I feel this is the right moment for me to step away.
“I informed the club of my decision after the game, I am extremely proud of what we have achieved, and I would like to thank the club, players, and supporters for their incredible support throughout my time here.”
