Pat Devlin has left Bray Wanderers, bringing the curtain down on his association with the club which began 40 years ago.
Devlin was head of football at the Wicklow club for the last three seasons, having been manager over five spells, first as player-manager back in 1985.
He also held a director of football role and famously led the club to two FAI Cup wins in the 1990s.
Devlin moved to the role of head of football in 2022 with Paul Heffernan currently their head coach.
The Seagulls came close to promotion this year but lost to Waterford FC in a play-off final.
Bray were taken over by a consortium of businessmen in September.
In a statement issued today, the club offered their gratitude to Devlin: "Bray Wanderers extends its heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Pat Devlin as he concludes his tenure as Head of Football.
"Pat's commitment, leadership, and passion for the game have left a lasting impact on the club and the wider football community.
"We are grateful to Pat for his many contributions to Bray Wanderers FC and to Irish football over several decades. We sincerely thank him for all he has done for the club and wish him every success in the future.
"His work has helped lay strong foundations for the club's continued progress, and we are truly appreciative as we look ahead to an exciting new chapter for Bray Wanderers and the seasons to come."
