After one point from 10 games, struggling Athlone confirm appointment of new manager
FIRST DIVISION STRUGGLERS Athlone Town have confirmed the appointment of Terry Butler as their new manager.
It follows Aaron Callaghan’s decision to step down earlier this month amid claims of “no warm-up gear and no physio” among other complaints.
Callaghan had only been in charge for a short period, having replaced Roddy Collins as manager earlier this year.
