Coleraine FC CEO Dale Pryde-MacDonald has left his position at the club. The club confirmed the departure on Thursday, November 5, stating that no immediate replacement for the chief executive role will be announced yet. The news arrives with the team in a commanding position, having won eleven, drawn two, and lost just one of their 14 league matches this season.
In a formal statement, the club thanked Pryde-MacDonald for his hard work and dedication. "The Showgrounds CEO has left his position, with no immediate replacement announced by the club," the club said. It added that he made a valued contribution and wished him every success for the future.
Pryde-MacDonald was appointed CEO in September 2025, having previously served as the club's General Manager. The club stated it will make a further announcement regarding the leadership role in due course.
The change comes as Coleraine sit first in the Premiership with 35 points from 14 games. They hold a two-point lead at the top of the standings and are unbeaten in their last five matches, with a run of four wins and a draw. That sequence includes a 5-0 victory over Crusaders FC and a 3-2 win against Larne, contributing to a season tally of 32 goals scored and 13 conceded. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw with Glentoran on October 30, where J. Cooper opened the scoring in the 21st minute. Attention now turns to a key away fixture against second-placed Linfield on Saturday, November 7, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00. The outcome of that match could have a significant impact on the title race as Coleraine look to maintain their strong league position amid the off-field transition.
