Roy Coyle's Newry have only one home win in the league
|
Roy Coyle has resigned as manager of Premier Division club Newry City after a run of dismal results.
A statement from the club said Coyle's departure had been by mutual consent following discussions with directors.
Newry have won only one home game in the league this season and last Friday lost 3-2 to Dungannon Swifts.
"I went down to Newry with good intentions, to try and achieve things, but it had not worked out and I am sad about that," said Coyle.
"But that is football and you have to move on.
"I have not decided yet whether I will return to the game. Right now I need a break from the coalface."
The Irish League's most successful manager, Coyle took over at Newry in February having resigned the Glentoran job a few weeks earlier.
He has also been in charge of Linfield, Derry City and Ards winning 50 trophies in a success-filled career.
