Irish League club confirm manager exit after 'mutually agreed to part ways' decision
Armagh City have confirmed the departure of manager Dave Rogers after just four months in charge at Holm Park.
Rogers was appointed by the Championship club in July as Shea Campbell’s permanent successor – the City legend departed in November 2025 and has since returned to management with Oxford Sunnyside.
Liverpool-born Rogers enjoyed a well-travelled playing career which included spells in England, Scotland, the Netherlands, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, where he spent a short stint at Lisburn Distillery.
Since moving into management, the 51-year-old has held roles in India, America and Malta alongside a year in charge of Finn Harps.
Rogers’ final game in charge of Armagh was Saturday’s 6-0 home defeat to high-flying Newington – a result which leaves City still sitting bottom of the table.
During Rogers’ reign, the Eagles won one, drew six and lost eight of their 15 league matches and were eliminated from the Mid Ulster Cup (loss to Dungannon Swifts) and BetMcLean Cup (3-1 defeat against H&W Welders).
Rogers was joined at City by assistant Tiarnan Mulvenna, who was on the books of Glenavon, Cliftonville, Warrenpoint Town, Portadown and Newington during his playing days before taking up a coaching role at Drogheda United.
A club statement read: “Armagh City FC can confirm that it has today mutually agreed to part ways with First Team Manager Dave Rogers.
“We would like to place on record our sincere gratitude and appreciation for Dave’s work ethic and dedication during his time here at the club and we wish Dave and his family good health and happiness for the future.”
Rogers took over at Armagh at a difficult time – the club had finished bottom of the Championship last season, winning just four of 38 matches and conceding 112 goals.
