Just hours after confirming Steve Feeney’s departure as women’s head coach at the end of the season, Sligo Rovers have announced that Tommy Hewitt will take over from him at the Showgrounds for the 2024.
Hewitt will take up his new post next month following Feeney’s decision to step away the role for work and family reasons.
The Athlone native was voted SSE Airtricity Manager of the Year in the Women’s Premier Division in 2022 after leading Athlone Town to second in the League and runners-up in the FAI Cup.
He has served as assistant manager with the Athlone Town men’s team and was also head coach with the Irish Defence Forces team at the Military World Games.
He spent four seasons with Athlone’s women side before opting to resign last June.
