Shane Keegan is an

Wexford Youths, Galway United, Dundalk and Cobh Ramblers
.

In November 2016, Keegan was announced as Manager of

Wexford Youths F.C. , where he spent five seasons in charge. His departure from Wexford came in controversial circumstances as the news broke just before the away leg of a relegation play off to Drogheda which they subsequently lost after having been 2.0 up in the first leg.[1][2]

Keegan's first season in charge of Galway United resulted in the club being relegated from the League of Ireland Premier Division.[3] That same season he guided his side to the semi-final of the EA Sports Cup where they lost 3-0 to Dundalk.[3] His side also made it to the quarter-finals of the FAI Cup but were beaten 2-1 by Limerick.[4] His contract with Galway was not renewed at the end of the two year term following a very disappointing season.

In March 2021, Keegan was named as first-team manager of Dundalk F.C. , replacing Filippo Giovagnoli who stepped back to the position of coach. He resigned as manager one month later after a disastrous run of results.[5][6]

Keegan was appointed manager of League of Ireland First Division side Cobh Ramblers F.C. on 27 June 2022, on a contract until the end of the 2023 season.[7] He guided the club to third place in the 2023 season, before departing the club on 7 December 2023 due to work commitments.[8]
