Wave goodbye: Brian O'Sullivan. Laszlo Geczo/INPHO

Rock-bottom Wexford on the hunt for new manager after O'Sullivan leaves 'by mutual consent'

The Ferrycarrig Park outfit have endured a torrid start to the First Division season.

WEXFORD FC ARE on the hunt for a new manager, having parted company with Brian O’Sullivan.

The Ferrycarrig Park outfit are currently rock-bottom of the SSE Airtricity League First Division after opening their campaign with seven defeats from seven games. They face Galway on Friday night, having been beaten 5-0 by Cork City last time out.

A statement from the club this evening read: “Wexford FC wishes to advise that first team manager Brian O’Sullivan has left the club by mutual consent.

“We would like to place on record our gratitude for Brian’s hard work and commitment to the club over the last two and a half years or so, and wish him every success in the future.

“For the moment, the first team will be managed by the coaching staff within the club. The process to appoint a permanent replacement starts straight away.”

O’Sullivan had been in charge since 2019, but now becomes the latest League of Ireland managerial casualty after a turbulent start to the new season.

    Great fighter and great steal for Bellator. UFCs partnership with Reebok is turning a lot of fighters against them. Good to see Bellator getting stronger as they promote Irish lads under the Bamma banner

    Donegals Joesph Duffy has left the UFC also. He refused a new contract. The Reebok deal really is screwing up the fighters earning capacity.

    @Gary: Ryan Bader came out recently and said he was earning 3-4 times more at Bellator due to sponsorships than at UFC since the Reebok deal. Hopefully more follow and switch

    @brucelee on the decline?? He’s top 5 and if he beat weidmen (highly likely he would have) could have got a title shot

    Hope he fights at LHW because middleweight is barren in Bellator. They have a few big name old fighters they could feed to him. Then he can get revenge on King Mo and win the belt against Bader
