Coleraine FC today announces a transition at board level, with five long-serving directors stepping down. Colin McKendry, who has served on the board for 16 years, including 14 years as Chairman, is among those leaving.
What happened?
The departing directors have given the club almost 60 years of service between them. Their departures mark the end of an era at the club - one in which Coleraine moved from part-time to full-time football, restructured for sustainability, and this season finished as Irish Cup winners with European football to follow.
Why it matters for Coleraine FC
Chairman Henry Helle-Ross said: "These five men have given Coleraine Football Club years of service in a period of profound change for the club and for Irish football."
