Bohemians manager Alan Reynolds has left his role with the Republic of Ireland Under-21s, it has been announced.

Reynolds was assistant manager to Jim Crawford since July 2020, during which time he was also assistant manager at Dundalk, Shelbourne, Derry City and Waterford.

Last March he was appointed manager of Bohs, succeeding Declan Devine.

Following discussions between the FAI and Reynolds, it was agreed he would depart his role ahead of next month’s UEFA European U21 Championship qualifiers against Türkiye and Latvia.

Reynolds said: "It’s been an enjoyable four years working with the Under-21s and I’m proud to have played my part in the development of some of our country’s top talents.

"I leave with fond memories and all the experience of testing ourselves against top international opposition can only be a benefit for myself and Bohemians going forward.

"I wish Jim, the players and the staff all the best for the rest of the campaign and beyond."

Crawford said: "Myself and Alan have a great relationship and I can’t thank him enough for all the work and commitment he has given the Under-21s in the last four years.

"He’s a great asset to Irish football and I’ve no doubt all the experience being involved in international football will serve him well at Bohemians. I’m sure my staff and players will join me in wishing Alan all the best for the future."

The FAI said work to find Reynolds’ replacement has already begun.
