Cork City FC has agreed to a request from manager Colin Healy for a short leave of absence for personal reasons at the start of March.

In the former Ireland international’s absence, the team will be managed by the existing first team coaching staff of Richie Holland, Declan Coleman and Mark McNulty, and the club say they have full faith in them to deliver the necessary results on the pitch.
