Newry City AFC can confirm that Darren Mullen will step down as First Team Manager at the end of the season.
We thank Darren and his back room staff for coming back to the club during what has been a tough season. It was a privilege to have Darren as Manager for 400+ games.
Darren commented “This is a tough day for the club and as manager I can only apologise to the fans. Ultimately we just haven’t been good enough. It was always my plan to step aside at the end of the season so I will now help the club in the process of finding a new manager.
“We will take time to review what has gone wrong and put plans in place to appoint the right man to get us back where we belong. I’d like to thank the players for their efforts and the coaching staff for their commitment in what has been a tough season. Most importantly I’d like to thank the fans for their unwavering support and assure them that there will be brighter days ahead.” 💙
