Cork City manager Ger Nash has left the club to join Swedish champions Mjallby as an assistant coach. Nash guided Cork to the FAI Cup final last year but they finished bottom of the league and were relegated. While Ger Nash stresses that he left his job as Cork City manager for personal reasons, it is not difficult to see why the assistant’s job at Swedish giant-killers Mjallby held far greater allure. Barely had Nash’s departure been made public by City when it was announced that he was returning to coaching in Sweden, where he previously worked at the Gothenburg club GAIS. This time he really has an opportunity to make a splash. Nash’s departure marks the end of an era for Cork City, who are still reeling from their relegation last season. The club will now have to regroup and find a new manager to lead them back to the top flight. Meanwhile, Mjallby will be looking to build on their success in the Swedish league and make a push for European competition. Nash’s appointment is a significant coup for the Swedish club, who will be hoping that his experience and expertise will help them achieve their goals. The move is a significant blow to Cork City, who will have to find a way to replace Nash’s leadership and experience.
