Gary Hunt appointed Waterford Women’s FC Head Coach for inaugural season

Gary Hunt has been appointed as the new head coach of Waterford Women's FC, marking the team's inaugural season in the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division. Hunt, who has a strong history with the club, previously served as head of youth development and has been involved with the men's side in various capacities since 2019. He expressed enthusiasm for the new role, stating that he looks forward to leading the team into a new era and building on his past successes at Waterford. The team is set to begin their campaign against Treaty United on March 8, with preparations underway to integrate both young talent and established players into the squad. The club has faced ownership instability in recent years and is now under the management of the Fleetwood Town multi-club operation. Hunt's return is seen as a strategic move to foster growth and stability within the organization.
