ULSTER club champions Slaughtneil have parted company with manager Terence McWilliams after just three months in charge.
The south Derry club last year became only the second team in history to win four consecutive Oak Leaf titles, and collected a third provincial crown in four years under Mickey Moran.
Along with John Joe Kearney and Paddy Flynn, they stepped down following their All-Ireland club semi-final defeat by Nemo Rangers in February.
It took the club until early April to appoint a replacement, with Kilrea native McWilliams being handed the reins ahead of former Antrim boss Liam Bradley.
They had won five and drawn one of their six Division One league games before it broke up for the summer back in May, since when they’d won seven and drawn one in league stage of the reformed Dr Kerlin Cup.
Slaughtneil then beat Kilrea in last weekend’s final to become the first south Derry club ever to win the competition, which had previously been for north Derry clubs only.
The Irish News understands that a four-man in-house management team of Co McEldowney, Willie Hampson, Padrig Kelly and Fergal McEldowney are set to take over.
