David Meyler will give us a 'real identity in terms of his Corkness'
Ger Nash is hoping David Meyler will bring a touch of Corkness as well as a touch of class to his management team. The former Ireland international, who began his career with Cork in 2007, will hook up with City's new boss, Nash, next week after securing a release from his contract with Hull City, where he coached their Under 18s. The combo of coaching newbie with a former international is an interesting mix of guru meets playing legend. And Nash is hoping it will lead to a resurgence of Cork's fortunes after a sticky start to the season saw them pick up just two wins from 17 matches. Read more: Ireland boss hopes to head off World Cup club v country row Read more: 'It's just to threaten them a little so they behave themselves' - Bohemians boss Alan Reynolds Nash said: 'I am really delighted to have David on board. The fact he was a young player at the club and has that link with the club is really important to me as he will bring a real identity in terms of his Corkness. 'David has plenty of experience as a coach and has experience (playing) at the highest level as well which I think will help that group.' Meyler retired at 30 with injury after spells in the Premier League with Sunderland and Hull City. He later played for Reading and Coventry City, winning 26 caps for Ireland. Nash said: 'He is used to operating under pressure and at the highest level and is used to operating around successful people and the high standards that those people have. 'If you look at our careers, they are polar opposites. He played at the highest level; my career ended as a teenager. I have got significant experience as a coach and have spent a lot of time on that side of the fence and in that environment. David is slightly different. For me, it is a good balance for the two of us. 'But what I really believe in is bringing people to the club who want Cork to be successful in the long term, not just to create a short term fix. 'This club needs to have an identity which represents the area. Even the people I have spoken to since I have taken this job have said that the Cork identity was really evident in the club during the years when it was successful. 'I think it is a unique aspect of the people down here in terms of that passion. I would like to recreate that and bring more people back to it.' Yet Nash is under no illusions about the short-term crisis the team is in. Level on 12 points with bottom side, Sligo, they are 10 points adrift of safety. He said: 'We have a huge job to do this year. That is what all my focus is on. I do believe when it comes to decisions I make, it should be in the long term interests of the club being successful. That is really needed. 'That is where we are. We only need to look at the table to see that. I have a longer term vision but that will only be dictated by what happens in the short term.'
