Longford GAA manager crisis as Andy McEntee steps down
The search begins immediately to find new senior football boss
In a shock decision that has plunged Longford GAA into a crisis situation, Andy McEntee has informed the County Board of his decision to step down with immediate effect as the senior football manager - just three weeks after he was appointed to fill the post vacated by Mike Solan.
At a meeting of Longford GAA Executive held this Saturday evening, a resignation letter from Andy McEntee was read to the committee which stated the following:
“Over recent weeks it has become clear to me that the level of player availability and commitment needed to build on this year’s promotion is not in place at this time.
“Players have their own reasons, and I respect that. But I could not in good conscience continue in a role I do not believe I can deliver on, and it is better for Longford that I make this decision now, so the county board has time to appoint amanager before the League.
“Thank you to the Longford County Executive, the Selection Committee and the County Board for the confidence you placed in me. I wish Longford football every success.”
Longford GAA take this opportunity to thank Andy and wish him well in his future endeavours.
Longford GAA will commence the process of identifying a manager for the Senior Football squad in the coming days with the start of the National League Division 3 campaign at the end of January.
