Jerome Stack has stepped down as St Brigid's manager in the wake of Sunday's All-Ireland club SFC final defeat.

The Kerry native guided the Roscommon outfit to their 18th county senior championship title and fifth Connacht club crown in his second season in charge but they agonisingly lost out by just a single point to Glen in a classic All-Ireland final at Croke Park.

St Brigid's GAA released a statement on social media this afternoon confirming Stack's departure:

"Our club senior team manager Jerome Stack has decided to step down. Jerome has been at the helm as manager for the last two years, guiding us to the All-Ireland Final last Sunday. Jerome has brought a wealth of coaching knowledge and experience to our team which brought us on a brilliant journey this year and saw our players bring that level of performance to Croke Park last Sunday We know the players will benefit greatly in the future from Jerome’s time with St Brigid's and his driven and meticulous work ethic.

"St. Brigid’s executive would sincerely like to thank Jerome for all his hard work, dedication and commitment to the club as manager. We would also like to extend our thanks to Jerome’s management and backroom team for their dedication over the past 2 years.

"Wishing Jerome, the very best of luck in his future endeavours."
