McGeeney to stay on as Armagh manager for 12th season

Kieran McGeeney will remain the longest-serving inter-county football manager after it was confirmed he will take charge of Armagh for a 12th season.

McGeeney, who captained his county to maiden Sam Maguire success in 2002 before managing the Orchard County to ultimate glory in 2024, was ratified at County Committee meeting on Monday night.

In 2014 McGeeney was appointed manager having spent a year as assistant to Paul Grimley and it was five years before he oversaw a first win in the Ulster championship.

As well as All-Ireland ambitions, Armagh will be seeking better luck in Ulster next year having lost three provincial deciders on the bounce.

By 2023, he had become the longest serving inter-county manager after Colm Collins stepped down as Clare manager.
