Fenn unveiled as Cork City manager

Neale Fenn has been unveiled as the new first team head coach at Cork City FC this morning.
Fenn, who played with City from 2004-2006, had been managing Longford Town but City have agreed terms with his former club in order to facilitate his move to Cork.
As a player, Fenn had a lengthy playing career with Tottenham Hotspur in the 1990s before moving to the League of Ireland in 2003. He scored 27 goals in 84 league appearances for Cork City and won the Premier Division title with the Leesiders in 2005. 
Returning to City as head coach on a multi-year agreement, the Londoner managed Longford Town for the last two years. Prior to that, he had previous spells as assistant manager of Leyton Orient and Drogheda United.
Speaking today, Neale expressed how happy he was to return to the club: “It’s fantastic to be back here. I took a walk around Turner’s Cross and the memories came flooding back of the fantastic nights in front of the Shed End – winning trophies and those great European nights.
“I can’t wait to get going now. I’ve met the backroom team, a lot of who I know from my playing and coaching career. We’re committed now to finishing the season as high as we can in the league. There’s a very strong group of players here. The spine of the team is Cork City through and through, you need that to be successful."
Club chairman Declan Carey said: “It’s great to have Neale back at the club. We all have fond memories of Neale’s playing days at the Cross and he’s done very well at Longford, where they played an attacking style of football. He shares our vision of where we want to go.
“Make no mistake about it, Neale has a huge job now to bring this club back to where it belongs over the next few years. We’ll back him and the whole first team 100 per cent and we hope the Cork public get behind what we’re trying to achieve. We’re all in this together – supporters, players, staff, board – everyone.”
Fenn will join up with the rest of the management team this morning for their first training session.
His first game in charge will be the home game against Sligo Rovers on Friday night at Turner’s Cross with kick-off at 7.45pm.
