Brian Barry-Murphy could be back in management soon as Manchester City are interested in recruiting the Cork native to take charge of their U23 development squad.

Rochdale confirmed on Wednesday that they had “reluctantly agreed, after careful consideration, to release Brian Barry-Murphy from his contract at his personal request, having been approached by the manager’s representative”.
