Brennan steps away from Louth hotseat

Ger Brennan has parted ways with Louth as speculation intensifies that he may succeed Dessie Farrell as Dublin manager.

The Leinster championship winning boss steps down after two successful years at the helm of the Wee County.

News broke this afternoon with Louth GAA confirming Brennan’s exit in a statement.

"Ger Brennan has made the decision to conclude his tenure as manager of our senior football team following two remarkable and thrilling seasons leading our squad," Louth chairman Seán McClean said.

"Throughout his time with us, we have had the privilege of witnessing the extraordinary dedication, professionalism and inspiring leadership that Ger consistently demonstrated.

"From the moment he joined our organisation, his devotion to Louth football has been absolute and unwavering.

"He has worked with tremendous energy and purpose to develop our players, energise our loyal supporters, and strengthen the sport throughout the county.

"With Ger's expert guidance and the invaluable support of his outstanding management team, our squad achieved remarkable success - including maintaining our Division 2 status and the momentous achievement of bringing the Delaney Cup home to Louth for the first time in 68 years, a truly historic milestone for the county."

Brennan himself put on record his appreciation to the players of Louth: "I want to express my profound gratitude to the Louth senior footballers. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your journey these past two years.

"What you have accomplished for the Gaels of County Louth will be remembered and celebrated for generations to come. Your dedication, heart, and commitment have made history.

"As you embark on the next chapter of your journey, I have complete confidence that fresh perspectives will bring new energy and insights to your honest and hardworking team. The future is bright for Louth football."

Brennan is now the favourite to become the new Dublin football manager.
