Johnny Magee is managing clubs in two different counties again this summer.

After a brief hiatus, the Kilmacud Crokes manager is back in charge of Louth club St Kevins, so there are busy times ahead as he bids for championship glory in both the capital and the Wee County.

The former Dublin midfielder took charge of the Philipstown men last year as they secured promotion to Division Two and contested the quarter-final stage of the intermediate championship. Meanwhile, he also led Kilmacud Crokes to the Dublin SFC.

However, he was subsequently replaced as Kevins supremo by former Louth and Westmeath manager Colin Kelly. 

Magee has now returned to the Kevins helm and took charge of his first training session of the year last week. As in 2018, the ex-Wicklow boss will juggle his coaching role at the Kevins with managing his home club.
