Previous Cork City U19 manager Stuart Ashton took over as Caretaker Manager. Stuart took charge of City for 7 competitive games winning 5 and losing only 2, Sligo Rovers in the FAI Cup and Shamrock Rovers in the league.

On 26 September 2013 it was announced that Paul O Brien would take over as Technical Director.
