Caulfield closing in on Cork City manager’s job

Cork City legend John Caulfield is considered one of the front-runners to take over as the new manager of the club, after the completion of the interview process yesterday.

However, one potential complication is that the UCC coach does not possess a Uefa Pro-Licence qualification and would need to do the appropriate course in order to manage in the Airtricity League Premier Division.

Although support for Caulfield’s candidacy is widespread, other significant contenders for the vacant post are believed to include Mick Cooke of Drogheda United, Martin Russell of UCD and former West Ham, Newcastle United and Norwich City boss Glenn Roeder.
