The FAI is saddened to learn of the passing of Maurice Price
A dedicated football man who worked with international teams and had a huge impact with Lourdes Celtic
He was also involved with Ireland’s youth teams, and was the manager of the U18 side for the 1996 European Championships in France and Luxembourg.
The results under Price at that tournament qualified Ireland for the 1997 World Youth Championship in Malaysia where, with Brian Kerr in charge, the team went on an incredible run and made history by finishing third.
A stalwart of the famous Lourdes Celtic schoolboy club in Crumlin, Price also worked within the FAI’s Technical Department as well as with several League of Ireland clubs, including at Dundalk where he was assistant manager to Jim Gannon in the early 2000s.
We send our condolences to the family and friends of Maurice Price who has sadly passed away.
Maurice was number two to Jim Gannon at Oriel Park between August 2004 and June 2005. Prior to that, he was a member of the ROI backroom team under Jack Charlton and Mick McCarthy. https://t.co/mEjzDuTtRz
