Who is Gerard Nash? Meet Cork City's new Irish boss nabbed from Sweden
Cork City have confirmed Gerard Nash as their new manager to replace Tim Clancy. Clancy left City after a year and a half following a disappointing string of results in the Premier Division. But now the Leesiders are set to mark a new chapter under Nash; here is everything to know about their new coach. Tim Clancy left Cork City after 18 months in charge. Pic: Tyler Miller/Sportsfile Nash will replace Tim Clancy in the Turners' Cross hotseat after the Meath native's 18-month reign came to an end. Clancy had steered City to promotion last year but the return to the top flight has proven challenging since and Cork are second from bottom after 15 games played. Nash, 38, is a football coach hailing from Leixlip in County Kildare. As a player, Nash spent time at Ipswich Town, Hartlepool and Southend before a cruciate injury forced him into retirement in 2006. That prompted a quick move into the world of coaching, where the Tractor Boys facilitated his first role. Gerard Nash graduating with his UEFA Pro Licence in 2018. Pic: Eóin Noonan/Sportsfile Nash picked up the role of U18s manager with Ipswich in 2013 and later took on the same position with the club's U23s in 2016. He joined the FAI as High Performance Coach in 2021, spending just over a year before moving to take on the role of U18s manager with Aston Villa in June 2022. In August 2024, Nash departed Villa and took over the reins at GAIS in the Swedish top flight. GAIS are currently sixth in the standings, 10 points off table toppers AIK after nine games in the league, which began at the end of March. Nash will now look to steer Cork to safety in the Premier Division.
