Quinn, who played 92 times for Ireland, including two World Cups, has been announced as Director of Coaching for thee AUL outfit with former Ireland Under 21 coach Ian Byrne named as Head Coach.
The prolific ex-forward had an illustrious career, which involved stints with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Sunderland from 1985 to 2002.
He also took a coaching role at the Black Cats after his retirement, and became manager of the side in 2006 for a short-term spell.

He'll hope he can make more memories with Dublin Celtic next season.
