Ian Ryan has quit his role as Wexford FC manager, the Airtricity League First Division club announced on Thursday night. 

The 35-year-old's decision to leave comes as a major blow to the club, who he joined a year and a half ago. Ryan led an impressive improvement in fortunes with Wexford finishing 17 points better off this season and knocking top-flight Sligo Rovers out of the FAI Cup in a shock.
