Mickey Graham calls time on Cavan tenure
Mickey Graham has stepped down from his role as Cavan manager after almost five years at the helm.
Graham, who led Cavan to an Ulster title in 2020 and a Tailteann Cup final appearance last season, was in the middle of a two-year extension to his tenure.
The Cavan Gaels clubman had earlier cut his managerial teeth with the county's minors and enjoyed considerable success with Longford club Mullinalaghta.
A statement from the county board read: "After serious considerations, Mickey Graham has decided to step away from his role as Cavan senior football team manager.
"Mickey took charge of our senior footballers in 2019, during his term Cavan won an Ulster title, 2 Allianz Football League titles and competed in the inaugural Tailteann Cup final.
"Mickey is leaving Cavan GAA in a strong position where they will now be competing in Division 2 in 2024.
"Mickey would like to thank the players and his backroom teams for their commitment and dedication over the past five years. He would also like to thank the county board and clubs for their outstanding support during that time.
"Mickey brought great passion to Cavan football as a player, development squad coach and manager.
"Cavan Co board would like to thank Mickey for his enormous contribution to Cavan football and Cavan GAA, especially during his time as manager of the senior football team.
"We congratulate him on his successes during his tenure and wish him every success in his future."
