Bonner fills vacant Kerr position

PACKIE Bonner was yesterday handed responsibility for continuing the development of the national coaching structure of the FAI when he was appointed technical director.

Bonner follows Brian Kerr into the post that has been vacant since Kerr was appointed manager to Ireland's senior international team.

He will combine the job with that of coach to Ireland's senior international goalkeepers and the coaching structure is developing so rapidly that he will be working full-time for the association.
