Tiernan Lynch Named Derry City Manager

Tiernan Lynch has officially left his position as manager of Larne to become the new manager of Derry City, signing a three-year contract with the club. Lynch replaces Ruaidhri Higgins, who parted ways with Derry City following a disappointing season that saw the club finish fourth and miss out on European football. During his tenure at Larne, Lynch led the club to back-to-back NIFL Premiership titles and made history by qualifying for the group stages of a European competition. Derry City CEO Sean Barrett expressed confidence in Lynch's vision and energy to advance the club's ambitions. Lynch's brother, Seamus Lynch, will also join him as assistant manager. He is set to manage Larne for the final time in a cup match against Institute, ironically at the Brandywell, before officially starting his new role.
