Kildare manager Glenn Ryan has vacated his post after three years in charge following this afternoon’s defeat to Laois in Tullamore.

The 2-11 to 0-12 loss to the O’Moore men marked an end to the Lilywhites’ season as they exited the Tailteann Cup at its quarter-final stage.

2024 marked a difficult campaign for Ryan’s men overall, having lost all seven of their Allianz League outings to drop down to Division 3 next season. The Leinster championship saw them scraping past Wicklow (0-16 to 1-12) prior to falling to a four-point defeat at the hands of Louth in the provincial semi-finals.

A statement released by Kildare county board following this afternoon’s loss at Glenisk O’Connor Park read as follows:

"Kildare GAA can confirm that Glenn Ryan has stepped down as Kildare Senior Football Manager following today's defeat to Laois in the Tailteann Cup.

"We would like to thank Glenn and his management team for their commitment and dedication to Kildare GAA over the past three years."
