Paul Grimley has intimated that Kieran McGeeney will replace him as Armagh manager.

Grimley's two-year term ended with Saturday's unlucky All-Ireland SFC quarter-final defeat to Donegal, but the Pearse Og man refused to say if he would be passing the baton to his assistant straight away.

"There's no better man to lead Armagh forward than Kieran McGeeney," the incumbent said.

"Whether that is the case or not is irrelevant at the moment. I've made my position very clear from the day I took over, but we'll see.

"I have a lot of people to talk to before I make it public. The management team and the county board, we'll obviously have to speak to them. But whether I'm involved next year is completely irrelevant at this stage.

"It's the progress that these boys have made that we have to keep going. And certainly McGeeney is the man to keep that going if that is the case."

Armagh county board has refused to comment on whether 'Geezer' will be at the Orchard County helm next season. Tweet
