Ciaran Meenagh is back in charge at Derry
Ciarán Meenagh has been ratified as the Derry manager this evening with former Derry star Chrissy McKaigue also part of the new management team.
Meenagh, who temporarily served as Derry boss in 2023 after the departure of Rory Gallagher, has already spent five years in total as a coach with Derry, in separate spells under both Damien McErlain and Gallagher, dating back to 2019.
He has stepped away from his role at Down to accept the role
A statement from Derry GAA said:
“Following Thursday night’s meeting of Coiste Chontae Dhoire, Derry GAA is pleased to announce the appointment of Ciaran Meenagh as senior football manager.
“Ciaran Meenagh first joined the Derry senior football management team in late 2018 and served for five seasons as a coach and later as manager – a period that included promotion from Division Four to Division One and back-to-back Ulster Senior Football titles.
“He will lead a management team that includes former Derry captain and All-Star footballer Chrissy McKaigue.
“Delegates also ratified the re-appointment of Under 20 football, Minor football, Senior hurling, Under 20 hurling and Minor hurling management teams.
“We wish all management teams and their playing panel every success for the 2026 season.”
