It has been largely a year to forget for Dundalk but interim head coach Filippo Giovagnoli believes his side can turn that around and make a forgettable season an historic one if they beat Sheriff Tiraspol in their Europa League qualifier in Moldova tonight.

A poor run of form has seen the Louth men slip 15 points off the pace of Shamrock Rovers in the SSE Airtricity League title race, albeit with two games in hand still to play, with last season's title-winning boss Vinny Perth sacked last month amid claims of interference in team selection from the club's American owners.
