ALAN REYNOLDS HAS agreed to step aside from his role as assistant manager with the Republic of Ireland U21s.
The Bohemians boss was in talks with the FAI over recent weeks and a decision was taken to leave the post heโs held for the last four years.
Ireland are in European qualifier action next month with games away to Tรผrkiye on 6 September followed by the visit of Latvia four days later.
Reynolds previously held coaching roles at Dundalk, Shelbourne, Derry City and Waterford while working on the Ireland staff.
โMyself and Alan have a great relationship and I canโt thank him enough for all the work and commitment he has given the Under-21s in the last four years,โ U21 boss Jim Crawford said.
โHeโs a great asset to Irish football and Iโve no doubt all the experience being involved in international football will serve him well at Bohemians. Iโm sure my staff and players will join me in wishing Alan all the best for the future.โ
Reynolds added: โItโs been an enjoyable four years working with the Under-21s and Iโm proud to have played my part in the development of some of our countryโs top talents.
โI leave with fond memories and all the experience of testing ourselves against top international opposition can only be a benefit for myself and Bohemians going forward. I wish Jim, the players and the staff all the best for the rest of the campaign and beyond.โ
Harps are going to struggle to stay up this year, they were very disappointing tonight, very unlike Harps! Only saving grace is UCD are the other team for relegation! Dundalk for top four at least this year be a good achievement for them after last year!
Linfield Harps will likely be relegated through the playoffs. They are one of the worst sides ever to watch in LOI.
