Jon Daly is the new manager of St Patrick’s Athletic, his caretaker status uplifted to permanent following an impressive audition of three wins from four matches.

The 40-year-old’s only blemish since succeeding his departed former boss Tim Clancy was a late 3-2 defeat at champions Shamrock Rovers seven days ago but there were sufficient signals of positivity in that match they led in, coupled with wins over Cork City, Drogheda United and Shelbourne to earn the post. Confirmation from Richmond Park is imminent.
