Patrick "Pat" Fenlon (born 15 March 1969) is an Irish football player and manager, who is the current Director of Football of Waterford. Fenlon has previously managed Shelbourne, Derry City, the Republic of Ireland under-23s, Bohemians and Hibernian. He won five League of Ireland titles with Shelbourne and Bohemians between 2003 and 2009. His 2004 season with Shelbourne saw Fenlon become the first manager to reach the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League with an Irish club. During his time with Bohemians Fenlon won the FAI Cup in 2008, the League of Ireland Cup in 2009 and the Setanta Sports Cup in 2010. Fenlon moved to Scottish club Hibernian in November 2011, who he helped reach two Scottish Cup Finals, although both were lost heavily.
Felon was born in Dublin. In April 1985 Fenlon netted a hat trick as Patrician College, Finglas won the Leinster Schools Junior Cup. He was with London club Chelsea as a young trainee. A midfielder, he returned home and signed for Brian Kerr's St Patrick's Athletic in 1987 and made his League of Ireland debut on 13 September 1987, against Shelbourne at Harold's Cross Stadium.
