Derry GAA has confirmed that Paddy Tally has stepped down from his position as senior football manager today following the conclusion of the 2025 inter-county season.
In a statement issued a short time ago, Derry GAA said: "Paddy brought integrity and energy to the role along with a deep commitment to the players and the county. His efforts to develop the squad, build a strong team environment, and guide a group of emerging players into senior football are greatly appreciated."
Tally, who was appointed on a three year term back in November 2024, said: “I want to thank my management, backroom and medical team and most importantly the players for their commitment and dedication over the past season. Thank you to Derry County Board and the staff in Owenbeg and Celtic Park for their hospitality and support. I wish the Derry Senior Footballers the best for the future.”
Derry GAA Chairperson, John Keenan, added: “We are grateful to Paddy, his selectors, and the wider backroom team for the time and dedication they have given to Derry football over the 2025 season. We also acknowledge the sacrifices made by their families in supporting that work. We wish Paddy the very best for the future and thank him sincerely for his contribution to the county.”
An announcement on a replacement Derry senior football manager is set to be made in due course.
