New boss Mathews looking forward to bright future in Cork

ANY player that joins Cork City will have to “live and breathe” the club, according to Alan Mathews who was officially unveiled as the new manager of the Rebel Army yesterday.

It was all very jovial at Cork’s Beamish House yesterday afternoon but the new incumbent at the FAI Cup holders claimed he was fully aware of the pressure with his new job.

“This is a different league and a different level to anything I’ve been involved with before,” said the former Longford boss. “But it’s a place I’ve always wanted to be. I’ll be fully committed and I’m going to relocate immediately and move down here.
