Kilkenny City have parted company with manager Adrian Fitzpatrick following a series of poor results.
Club officials paid tribute to Fitzpatrick for his commitment and
dedication to the club and wished him well for the future.
New caretaker boss is former Kilkenny City player Gary Coad, who will be assisted by Ray Moran.
The new management team will take charge of their first game away to Limerick FC on Friday.
Coad won a First Division title with the Cats in 1996.
