Donnelly steps down as Fermanagh boss

Kieran Donnelly has stepped down as Fermanagh senior football boss after four years in charge.

In a statement on Monday, Fermanagh GAA said Donnelly informed county officers at the weekend of his decision to exit 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," read the county board's statement.

"Transitioning from Covid and the new playing rules has not been an easy task. 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."

Former Fermanagh player Donnelly, who succeeded Ryan McMenamin in 2021, said it was an "honour and a privilege" to lead his native county.

"I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to my backroom team for their dedication and professionalism throughout my tenure," said the former Scotstown and Cavan Gaels boss.

"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."
