Dublin, Westmeath and Longford have appointed new ladies football managers in recent days.

Mick Bohan returns as Dublin manager in an interim capacity with a view to ratification at the next county board meeting. Bohan previously led the Jackies to an All-Ireland final appearance in 2003 and was involved in Jim Gavin's backroom team as a skills coach before coaching Clare to a surprise All-Ireland SFC quarter-final appearance this year. Bohan replaces Gregory McGonigle, who stepped down after Dublin's All-Ireland final defeat to Cork in September.

Westmeath, who have been runners-up to Dublin in the last two Leinster finals, have named Stephen Maxwell as their new supremo in succession to Niall Williams.

The Dublin-based sports development lecturer managed Kildare to a Leinster intermediate title last year and was in charge of the Dublin minor team that lost this year's All-Ireland final to Cork. 

Meanwhile, former Armagh boss James Daly has taken the reins in Longford. The Dromintee clubman, who oversaw a dramatic improvement in the Orchard County's fortunes during his four years at the helm, replaces Leitrim native Michael Bohan, who guided the midlanders to an All-Ireland junior success in September.
