Brennan's former teammate stepped down after guiding the Dubs to two All-Ireland titles during his tenure, including completing the county's historic six-in-a-row in 2020.
The Na Fianna clubman announced his decision in the aftermath of Dublin's 3-15 to 1-14 defeat to Tyrone in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final at Croke Park on Saturday evening.

Watch: Heroes' welcome for Camogie champions in Galway
The All-Ireland camogie champions arrived to a heroes' welcome in Clarinbridge, Co Galway. Following Sunday's All-Ireland camogie final, huge crowds gathered yesterday to welcome the team at Duggan Park in Ballinasloe at 6pm, where the players met fans and signed jerseys before the team moved on to Clarinbridge. Team captain Carrie Dolan, who thrust an arm into the sky in celebration in the 63rd minute on Sunday, well before the sliotar from her game-winning free split the posts at the Davin End of Croke Park, was welcomed back as a hero to her hometown of Ballinsaloe. The Galway camogie team have been in 22 All Ireland finals and they have lost 17. They won their fifth title on Sunday, depriving Cork of a historic three-in-a-row bid. "When you lose enough of them, you have to make the time for people when you win them," she said, after posing for pictures and signing jerseys and hurleys belonging to young fans. She added: "I can't wait to get back and see the people that gave a lot of time to me and who came up and supported us on Sunday." Earlier yesterday, the team bus stopped in Athlone where the players took the O'Duffy Cup west in a symbolic parade across the Shannon. "These finals are very hard to win. We haven't a huge amount of them won so any opportunity we get to bring that cup across the Shannon - it's a huge occasion for us," said Paul Kelly, chairperson of the Galway Camogie Board. The team also had a busy morning visiting children at Temple Street Hospital. In a well-established tradition, the players visited patients at the Dublin hospital where they received a warm welcome from the medical and nursing staff, children and their families. There was great excitement as the players were guided through the corridors to meet the children. Tracey Wall, the Head of Operations at Temple Street, said the traditional visit of the All Ireland champions on the Monday after the All Ireland finals was a massive treat and brought much joy to everyone in Temple Street. Watch: All-Ireland champions visit Temple Street The large group of Galway players were guided to various wards where they met and took photographs with patients and staff, and the visit clearly had an impact on the players as well. "It really puts things into perspective. We're so lucky to be able to go out and do what we do," said RTÉ Player of the Match Aoife Donohue. "It's a really special morning."

Camogie final highlights the tightrope referees are now expected to walk
In the endless theatre that is sport, history has a curious habit of repeating itself. Read the quote, guess the year. "We won the All-Ireland final, but the main talk was about the referee, was it a controversial free at the end.' This was six years ago. Cork were closing in on a three-in-a-row, star full-back Laura Treacy had rewatched their 2018 decider against Kilkenny and deemed something amiss. In 2019, their championship ended at the hands of eventual champions Galway. By a single point. Déjà vu. 'He reffed [according] to the rules of the game,' said Treacy at the time. 'But when people are watching it they are viewing it as hurling. They are watching a camogie game as if it is hurling and that is how the whole, 'Why is he blowing for that?' and 'Would he not let that go?' came up. I think the rules have to change.' Across numerous interviews with television, print and radio outlets, Cork manager Ger Manley hit out at the 'shocking' and 'awful' decisions that went against his side last Sunday. The crucial difference between 2019 and last weekend is the rulebook. Previously, it failed to reflect how the game was evolving and how players were preparing. Sweepers and strength and conditioning became fashionable, just as they did in hurling, but without the necessary legislation to weaponise or counteract them. The resulting clash was awkward and uneven. It needed to break free from these self-imposed chains. On Sunday, Galway and Cork produced a thrilling contest that had 48 shots and a remarkable 83 turnovers. 2-13 of the scores came from play. The final tally from placed balls was 0-7 each, albeit Cork did miss an early penalty, but Amy O'Connor managed to register something on the board from the subsequent 45. Even still, the complaining and criticism duly came for the matchday official Justin Heffernan. Successful Galway boss Cathal Murray called for more physicality, urging lawmakers to tackle the charging rule. Meanwhile, one incident Manley was correct to take issue with was a clear push on goalkeeper Amy Lee in the first half, excessive physicality. This is the tightrope hurling referees have had to walk too. There is a constant demand to let the game flow while maintaining order at the same time. Strict enforcement can come at the cost of the spectacle, lax application can be damaging for the sport. This year's Munster final was exhibit A. If that level of leniency is consistently applied, does that change the shape of the game and its key players? Undoubtedly. The tackle is an enormous challenge across all four codes. Players are now coached to make body contact at all costs. It is the first principle in the manual: delay. Hold up attacking momentum, even if it means throwing your body in front of them. Then 'deny', their space and finally, 'dispossess.' That means clustering and congestion and crowds of bodies, all stretching the rulebook to its limit. The GAA has a clockwork calendar and referee complaints are a permanent part of that. Unlike the other regular topics, this grievance isn't seasonal. The early part of the year is for pre-season competition complaints, challenge game rumours and moaning about too many games jammed together. Structural wrangles, from the number of teams that advance from the Munster championship to preliminary quarter-finals, come after. Split season debate takes over the summer. But referee rows prove evergreen. It doesn't seem to matter if those airings are tedious and repetitive. Nor does it matter that there are far more interesting things to talk about. When is the last time both All-Ireland champions won with a sweeper? What of Aoife Donohoe's inspired display? Why did Cork struggle so badly to progress through midfield before the red card yet find joy there after? Saoirse McCarthy's free with four minutes left made it a one-score match. Over the next eight minutes, there were at least 15 full tackles and over 10 turnovers. Bar three sidelines, the whistle only sounded for two frees, one for Cork that led to Orlaith Cahalane's goal, one for Galway that resulted in Carrie Dolan's winner. 'I am not sure how many potential frees I could have counted in that last minute of play there,' said RTÉ co-commentator Elaine Aylward with the clock deep in the red. What an up and down game, up and down the field with huge moments.' That contradiction is constant. Keep the whistle in the pocket and the game breathes, the spectacle swells. Swallow it completely and the modern game is liable to become lawless. Even when a referee somehow manages to find the sweet spot, the only certainty is that there'll still be someone grumbling about it.

Preparations begin for Waterford to host 2026 World GAA Games
The World GAA Council made the decision on the host city on Friday, August 1, following a shortlist of submissions from Waterford, Kerry and Derry. The five-day event will feature matches over four days at SETU Arena, West Campus, Carriganore, County Waterford from July 13 – 16, 2026, with the finals taking place on Friday, July 17 in the county ground at Walsh Park. The Waterford event will be the fifth staging of the World GAA Games since its inception in 2015. It is anticipated that upwards of 2,000 players will participate in the 100 or more football, hurling, camogie, and ladies football teams. The GAA World Games, first held in 2015, celebrate the global reach of Ireland's native games and the efforts of volunteers and players across more than 560 clubs established outside of Ireland. The confirmation that Waterford will host the 2026 World GAA Games has been welcomed by Sinn Féin TD for Waterford and party spokesperson on community development, Conor McGuinness. Deputy McGuinness said the decision represents a vote of confidence in the strength of Gaelic games in Waterford, the power of community sport, and the world-class facilities available across the city and county. 'This is a huge honour for Waterford and a proud day for everyone involved in our local GAA clubs and communities. The decision by the World GAA Council to award the 2026 Games to Waterford is a recognition of the talent, commitment and infrastructure we have here - and of the deep love of Gaelic games that runs through every parish in the county. 'This is not just a sporting event - it's a homecoming for our national games,' added Deputy McGuinness. 'The World Games are about identity, belonging, and the unifying power of sport. They bring together Irish communities abroad, international players, and volunteers who've built something extraordinary around Gaelic games in every corner of the world.' 'This announcement also speaks to the outstanding quality of Waterford's facilities and infrastructure – especially SETU Arena and the redeveloped Walsh Park – and to the strength of the local bid, which saw off high-calibre submissions from Kerry and Derry.' He added: 'This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Waterford – for our clubs, communities, and our children. I want to commend all those who made the bid a success.' SETU Arena is Waterford's and the south east's largest sport, fitness and events centre and will play a huge part in hosting the event. A spokesperson said that 'preparations are already underway to deliver an unforgettable experience for players, officials, and supporters from across the world'.
