A return to senior football management could be on the cards for a former Preston North End midfielder.
Former Preston North End midfielder Brian Barry-Murphy has announced he is stepping down from his job at Manchester City. The 45-year-old is leaving his post as under-21's manager of the Citizens. His departure from the Etihad could pave the way for him to make a return to senior management after being linked with several EFL jobs. 'I have some news people.
'However, I feel I have taken the role as far as possible and feel ready for a new challenge. Looking forward to the next chapter. See you there.' Barry-Murphy was brought to England by Preston North End in 1999 from Cork. He appeared 24 times for the Lilywhites, but couldn't hold down a place in the four years he spent at Deepdale. Barry-Murphy had loan spells at Southend United and Hartlepool United in 2002, but was then moved on to Sheffield Wednesday in 2003.
