Wexford FC Women are delighted to confirm the appointment of Dave Connell as First Team Manager.
Connell brings a wealth of experience having previously played for a number of League of Ireland teams before going into management with Limerick FC and Galway United.
A strong advocate for youth development, Connell was appointed Ireland Women’s U19 Manager in 2011 and with his exceptional track record of identifying and nurturing young talent he led the girls in green to the UEFA European Championship Semi-Finals for the first time in 2014 and again guided the U19 team to the Championship Finals in 2024.
He also guided the Ireland Women’s U17 team to the Championship Finals in Iceland in 2015 and led the Ireland Women’s World Student Games team to their best ever finish of 4th in 2019.
Wexford FC Women are excited to see his dedication to developing young players contribute to the growth of the club’s own rising stars and we look forward to this exciting new chapter at Ferrycarrig Park under Dave’s leadership!
