Kieran Donnelly’s four years at the helm of the Fermanagh senior footballers has come to an end.

The former county player took over at the end of 2021 and informed the county board over the weekend of his decision to leave the role.

“Fermanagh GAA would like to sincerely thank Kieran and his entire backroom team for their dedication and commitment over the last four years. Transitioning from Covid and the new playing rules has not been an easy task,” said the county board in a statement.

“While silverware may have eluded, Kieran brought a great culture and positive environment to the senior side.

“We wish Kieran, his family and all the backroom team every success in the future.”

In a statement Kieran Donnelly added: “It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as manager of the Fermanagh senior football team. I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to my backroom team for their dedication and professionalism throughout my tenure.

“The players have shown tremendous growth and development, and I am proud of the progress the squad has made during this period. I would like to wish the players, management, and supporters of Fermanagh GAA every success in the years ahead.”
