Glenn Ryan
Former Longford senior football manager Glenn Ryan is set to take over from Jack O'Connor as the manager of the Kildare football team.
The Round Towers man - and former Kildare captain who led the county to an All Ireland Final appearance in 1998 - is expected to have his appointment confirmed at a special county committee meeting on October 19.
Ryan is also a former Longford and Kildare U21 manager. During his time with Longford, 2009 - 2013, he led the county to back-to-back league titles, beating Roscommon by 2–11 to 1–08 to take the National League Division 4 title in 2011 and in 2012, Longford won the Division 3 National League title, beating Wexford in the final.
He will be joined by three former Kildare stars - Johnny Doyle, Anthony Rainbow and Dermot Earley - as coaches / selectors, who will bring a wealth of managerial experience to the panel.
