The pair, chosen out of 40 applicants for the posts, replace Del Oldfield, who stood down for personal reasons after two years.

Murphy, an Irish Under-17 international, won League of Ireland medals with Cork City and Shamrock Rovers, and also played for Swindon Town, Motherwell, Dunfermline, Leatherhead and Margate.

A Deres statement said: “Danny is an exceptional coach and Marlon just making the transition from playing to coaching, a development which the club will support.

“Both have great ideas on how to move the club forward and start challenging for honours again, which is a glowing testament to both.”
