Sligo Rovers goalkeeping coach Rodney Dalzell has resigned following an altercation with the club's supporters after their 2-1 loss to Bray Wanderers in the Carlisle Grounds on Sunday.
The away support accounted for a large portion of the 271-strong crowd in Bray and they vented their anger at the players following the loss to the league's bottom team, whose players have been told they can find other clubs.
Dalzell became involved in a verbal spat with fans at the end of the game and had to be held back by a match steward and a member of the playing staff.
A day later, Dalzell offered his resignation and the club accepted.
"Sligo Rovers regret yesterday's post-game exchange between a member of our backroom team and some supporters," said a statement released this afternoon.
"The exchange 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, goalkeeping coach 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.
"The level of support we receive as a club is extraordinary and we place huge value on it."
