In a unexpected announcement tonight, Finn Harps confirmed that first team manager Darren Murphy had departed the club.
In a short statement on X it read “Finn Harps FC can confirm that First team Manager Darren Murphy has departed the club.”
“The club’s Board of Directors wish to thank Darren for his commitment over the past two years and for his efforts in developing the pathway between the Finn Harps Academy and the First Team.”
It had been a mixed start to the season for Murphy and for Finn Harps despite 4 defeats from their opening 6 games, Finn Harps had been performing well in games and had been unlucky not to have more points on the board.
This news comes following Finn Harps first win of the season as they defeated Bray 5-0 at Finn Park on Friday night.
The club have confirmed that “The current coaching staff of Kevin McHugh, Eamon Curry and Tommy Canning will take charge of the team until further notice.”
Finn Harps return to action on Friday night as they travel to Athlone Town.
