Cian O’Neill will not be part of Jack O’Connor’s management team in 2027, the Irish Examiner has learned.

O’Neill’s departure after two seasons is one of a number of changes O’Connor will be making to his coaching ticket for next year. Shane O’Rourke, a lecturer in sports performance in MTU, is tipped to join the set-up as a strength and conditioning coach.
