Former Cork City player and coach Alan Reynolds is the front-runner to become the club’s next manager.

Reynolds, who was in charge of Waterford from 2017 until summer 2019, was recently appointed as Shelbourne assistant manager but it is believed City have turned to him with Colin Healy — who stepped up as interim manager following Neale Fenn’s departure — expected to remain in his original role as head of the Rebel Army’s academy.
