Coach Rod quits after fans clash
SLIGO Rovers goalkeeping coach Rodney Dalzell has resigned from the club after an altercation with supporters on Sunday.
The club issued a statement expressing regret over an exchange between a number of fans and Dalzell after Rovers’ 2- 1 defeat to Bray Wanderers.
The travelling support was angry with the Bit
O’red performance, given that Bray had not trained all week due to a delay in wage payments.
The club statement read: “Sligo regret yesterday’s post-game exchange between a member of our backroom team and some supporters. It occurred when passions ran high in the aftermath of the full-time whistle of a disappointing day.
“We believe our staff care deeply about the club but on this occasion it was not construed in a fitting manner.
“As a result, Rodney Dalzell offered his resignation this morning which the club accepted by mutual agreement. This is an admirable course of action taken by Rodney and one we respect.”
