Cork Football boss John Cleary given two more years
Cork Football boss John Cleary has been ratified for another two years, the news of which was confirmed at Tuesday's County Board meeting. Cleary took over the job in 2022, initially on an interim basis, and has been in charge for each of the last three seasons. He was successfully ratified on Tuesday evening and will bring his management team forward next month for approval by Cork's County Board. Cleary nearly masterminded one of the shocks of the summer when Cork lost in extra time to eventual All-Ireland Champions Kerry in their Munster semi-final clash. In his first full year in charge, Cleary guided Cork to the All-Ireland quarter-final stages but bowed out in the preliminary quarter-finals in both 2024 and 2025. There was no news about the future of hurling manager Pat Ryan, although it appears likely the County Board may still be conducting its end-of-season review.

Confirmed: John Cleary staying on as Cork senior football boss
John Cleary has received a new two-year term as Cork senior football manager. The Castlehaven man was ratified for another couple of seasons at Tuesday's county board meeting. Cleary took over Cork on an interim basis in 2022 and has been in the permanent position for the last three seasons. Cleary's management team will be proposed for ratification at September's county board meeting. His backroom team for the past three seasons has comprised of coach Kevin Walsh, selectors Micheál Ó Croinín, James Loughrey and Barry Corkery, as well as performance coach Rob Heffernan. For the second year in a row, Cork bowed out at the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final stages when they lost to Dublin. They defeated Roscommon to make the knock-out stages, having beaten Donegal in the 2024 group phase before exiting the championship at the hands of Louth.

John Cleary to stay on as Cork football boss for a further two years
John Cleary has been handed a fresh two-year term as Cork senior football manager. Cleary took over the Cork footballers on an interim basis from Keith Ricken in 2022 before accepting the role on a more permanent footing for three years. That three-year term ended following Cork's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final defeat to Dublin in June, but Clearly was handed a fresh two-year spell at Tuesday night's county board meeting. Meanwhile, Declan Darcy has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed Dessie Farrell as Dublin senior football manager. READ MORE Darcy, who was a key member of Jim Gavin's backroom team from 2013-2019, is understood to be the preferred candidate of several leading players within the senior squad. Former Dublin defender Jonny Cooper could be part of Darcy's management team. Ger Brennan was the early favourite to replace Farrell and at least one of the country's largest bookmakers suspended betting last month on the St Vincent's clubman taking the reins of his native county. Brennan this summer managed Louth to a first Leinster SFC triumph in 68 years but surprisingly stepped down as Wee County boss after their championship campaign ended. His decision to step away was announced just three days after Farrell resigned from as Dublin senior football boss. Brennan has also been linked with the managerial vacancy in Roscommon.
