Galway begin hunt for new boss as Cousins axed

GALWAY UNITED will look to Britain and the continent in the search for a new manager after they sacked Tony Cousins and his management team after an emergency board meeting yesterday.

The news of the Dubliner’s removal only became official after midday, but by 4pm the club were believed to have received 15 applications for the post.

However United chairman John Fallon says the club will not rush into a new appointment, and they have appointed Billy Clery, a former club captain and United’s U-21 manager last season, as caretaker manager until a new man is appointed.
