Former Cork City Manager Ger Nash Faces Drink Driving Charges

Former Cork City soccer manager Ger Nash has been charged with drink driving and dangerous driving following an arrest in November 2025.

Details of the Arrest and Charges

Garda Jerome Maher arrested Nash at 2.55am on November 6, 2025, at the Lakeview Roundabout in Midleton, Co. Cork. He was subsequently charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and dangerous driving.

Resignation and Court Appearance

Nash resigned from his position as manager of Cork City following his arrest. He was not present in court on Thursday, March 5, 2026, when a hearing date was set for May 14 in Midleton District Court.

“Turn up early,”

Judge Colm Roberts

The 39-year-old, formerly of Fota Island, Cork, and now residing in Sweden, has been remanded on bail until the May 14 hearing. Defence solicitor Graham Hyde requested a copy of the Garda notebook from the incident.

Nash’s Tenure at Cork City

Nash led Cork City to the 2025 FAI Cup final, where they were defeated 2-0 by Shamrock Rovers. He took over as the club’s manager midway through the 2025 season after the resignation of Tim Clancy, with the aim of leading the relegated club back to the Premier Division in 2026.

However, his resignation was announced by Cork City FC on social media just before Christmas, citing personal reasons. The club statement read: “Cork City FC has been informed by men’s first team manager Ger Nash of his decision to step down from the role, with immediate effect.”

Previous Playing and Coaching Experience

Prior to managing Cork City, Nash previously played for Ipswich Town. Following his departure from Cork City, he took up a role as assistant coach at Swedish champions Mjallby.
