John McEntee appointed Monaghan senior football manager

Monaghan GAA has officially ratified John McEntee as the new senior football manager. An Armagh 2002 All-Ireland winner, McEntee succeeds Gabriel Bannigan, who resigned in August.

McEntee’s appointment includes a commitment to the 2027 season. Alongside him, Tony Austin has been ratified as the senior hurling manager. Details regarding McEntee’s full backroom team are expected to be announced in the coming week, once current club football commitments allow.

McEntee brings significant experience to the role, having previously managed Inniskeen Grattans and Clontibret. He also co-managed Crossmaglen Rangers to Ulster championship success in 2015. He joins several of his former Armagh teammates who have moved into inter-county management.
