Rathdowney's Shane Keegan Becomes Dundalk Manager

The move was announced by sporting director Jim Magilton earlier this afternoon.

Rathdowney's Shane Keegan is stepping into the role of manager at Dundalk with Fillipo Giovagnoli switching to a coaching position. 

The Italian was appointed as Vinny Perth's successor last season but a lack of a PRO license saw UEFA fine the Louth club €50,000 during the Europa League Group Stages. 

New sporting director Jim Magilton doesn't want a repeat of that,  but is adamant that team selection will be a collaborative process. 

Giovagnoli and assistant Giuseppe Rossi have applied attain their 'PRO' and 'A' badges but it could be 2022 before either is able to find a place on a coaching course.
