Bohs set to unveil Connor
November 17, 2006
Bohemians will receive a boost ahead of Friday night’s eircom League finale against Dublin rivals Shelbourne when former Sligo Rovers chief Sean Connor is unveiled as the new manager of the Gypsies.
Connor spent time as a coach at Birmingham City before landing the job as Sligo boss, and helped foster links between Birmingham and the Showgrounds side during his time in charge in the north-west.
A successful two-year spell in Sligo, during which he led the club to promotion to the top flight, a steady top-half placing in their first season in the Premier and an FAI Carlsberg Cup semi-final, came to an end when he stepped down after the defeat to UCD two weeks ago.
And the worst-kept secret in Irish soccer was finally uncovered on Thursday when it was revealed that the 39-year-old Belfast native will be unveiled as new Bohs boss today (Friday), having signed a three-year deal at Dalymount Park.
Connor’s former north-west nemesis, Derry City, will hope he can have an immediate impact at Bohs by inspiring them to a performance against Shelbourne at Tolka Park this evening – Derry require a favour from the Phibsboro side if they are to lift the League of Ireland crown for the first time in eight years tonight.
