"I would like to thank the players, Dermot Usher and the entire staff at Cork City FC for the opportunity to work with them, and wish them the best for the remainder of the season.”

Dermot Usher, owner of Cork City FC, added: “I spoke with Tim this evening, and while obviously disappointed, I fully respect his decision.
