Eamonn Sheridan steps down as Rathmullan Celtic manager

Rathmullan Celtic FC is searching for a new manager following the departure of Eamonn Sheridan from the role.

The ex-Finn Harps striker had been at the helm for nearly four years, having taken charge in 2020 after the Covid-19 pandemic.

In his second full season, the team remained competitive at the top of the table for much of the campaign and made an impressive run to the Area Final of the Brian McCormick Cup, narrowly losing to Letterkenny Rovers in an intense match at Flagpole Field.

Last season, the Hoops continued to achieve solid results, finishing mid-table in the Donegal League Premier Division.

“Throughout his time as manager, Eamonn put his heart and soul into the club, his commitment to the cause unquestionable,” the club said in a statement.

“After a decorated playing career that took him on many adventures, he had of course finished off his time as a player here at the Flagpole Field during a spell of unprecedented success for the club from 2011-2014.”
Sheridan’s management team, consisting of Paul Friel and Patrick Patton, have also stepped down from their positions.

“Both Frielly and Burger were instrumental during Eamonn’s tenure, bringing the expertise and professionalism that many would have anticipated following their own respective playing careers,” the club added.

“Everyone associated with RCFC would like to thank these three gents for their contribution. With our Brian McCormick Cup opener against Milford upcoming on Sunday 1st September, the committee has started the process of finding a replacement management team.”
