Dave Connell left Galway United last night after a disappointing start to the season.

Connell learned his fate last night after a meeting with Ollie Turner at Terryland Park.

The former Limerick manager took over from Don O’Riordan during the summer but won just one game, a 2-1 victory against UCD.

Tony Mannion has been placed temporarily in charge. His first game will be tomorrow night at home to Monaghan United.
