Mickey Harte appointed Offaly joint-manager

Three-time All-Ireland winning manager Mickey Harte will become the new joint-manager of the Offaly senior football team on a three-year term.

Harte is set to co-manage the team with the current boss Declan Kelly.

Offaly chairperson Michael Duignan said in a statement that "Harte's genuine interest in Offaly GAA and his wealth of experience is what football in the county needs".

Harte stepped down as Derry manager in July following one season in charge during which he won Division One of the Allianz National League before a disappointing championship.

Between 2020 and 2023, he managed Louth and that was following his 17 years in charge of the Tyrone senior team.
