Back to business as Cork City appoint Dunne new manager

CORK CITY’s new cooperative owners yesterday appointed Tommy Dunne as their first team manager for the coming season. Dunne served as assistant manager with former Turner’s Cross chief Paul Doolin during the eventful 2009 season.

Speaking last night after his appointment, Dunne insisted he was relishing the challenge in the First Division.

“It’s a job I would always have liked and I’m delighted to take it on. Last year was an enjoyable year for me even though there were problems with the club. I’ve enjoyed being in Cork, the people, and playing in Turner’s Cross. It’s an exciting job and I’m looking forward to getting started.”
