IRELAND LEGEND KEVIN Sheedy has left his position as Waterford FC manager “by mutual consent”, the Premier Division strugglers confirmed on Wednesday evening.
Mike Newell, the former Blackburn Rovers striker, has also left his position as Sheedy’s assistant.
The high-profile pair took charge of the Blues ahead of the 2021 season but leave with Waterford bottom of the table following seven defeats in nine games.
The first signs of unrest came last month with reports that Sheedy and Newell had left the club following a reported training ground row, which Sheedy moved quickly to dismiss at the time.
Waterford’s head of academy Mike Geoghegan will be in the dugout for Saturday’s game against Drogheda United, the club confirmed.
“Waterford FC, Kevin Sheedy and Mike Newell have parted company by mutual consent,” a short club statement read.
“We wish to thank both Kevin and Mike for their service to the club during these difficult times and wish them both the very best for the future.”

Could inject a bit of life into international football. I like the playoff idea for the euros.
I don’t even know what a tracker mortgage is
We need Keith Duffy to explain this one lads.
@Brian Heffernan: that would be grand if he could read.
So you could win the worst league and qualify ahead of a team that comes at bottom end of the best league? Or have I that wrong?
Nice of them to leave the higher ranked teams an extra game for high profile friendlies. Rich will always get richer
Reads like it was written by the Ultimate Warrior.
