Kilduff has been named as Tommy Hewitt's replacement for the Women's Premier Division side.
Athlone Town have moved quickly to bring in a new manager for the women's senior team.
Ciaran Kilduff has signed on to take over the midlanders.
Kilduff is a well known face in the League of Ireland having played crucial roles in league winning campaigns for Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk.
He'll long be remembered for scoring the equaliser against AZ Alkmaar to ensure that Dundalk became the first Irish team to win a point in the group stages of a European competition.
Athlone are back in action this weekend with their final group game in the All Island Cup against Linfield.
