Ervin out!

Ballymena United Football Club can confirm that the club has parted company with first team manager Jim Ervin, this morning (Sunday).

The Board would like to put on record their upmost thanks to Jim and his staff for their efforts and support during his two and a half years at the Showgrounds.

Jim will always be remembered as a legendary player for the club, and as manager for successfully guiding Ballymena United through one of the most challenging periods of our recent history.

The club will now commence the recruitment process for the next first team manager.

In the interim period, Under-20's manager Ciaran Caldwell, assisted by Patrick McEleney and Sean O'Neill, will take charge of the team for Tuesday evening’s BetMcLean Cup quarter-final against Larne.
