Andy McEntee steps down as Longford senior football manager, Digi Mart USA News (Longford, Ireland): Andy McEntee has stepped down as Longford senior football manager after less than a month in the role, according to a statement issued by Longford GAA on Saturday evening. The county’s executive met on Saturday, when McEntee’s resignation was read to the committee.
In his resignation letter, McEntee said that recent weeks had made clear that the level of player availability and commitment needed to build on this year’s promotion was not in place at this time. He added that players have their own reasons and that he respects them, but said he could not in good conscience continue in a role he did not believe he could deliver on.
McEntee said it was better for Longford that he make the decision now, so the county board has time to appoint a manager before the league. He was appointed Longford manager late last month following the departure of Mike Solan.
He has previously managed Antrim and his native Meath.
Longford GAA thanked McEntee and wished him well in his future endeavours. The county said the process to find his successor will commence in the coming days.
Longford will compete in Division 3 of the 2027 National Football League after earning promotion from Division 4 this year.
