Glen: Donegal All-Ireland winner Rory Kavanagh named new boss

Must read

Donegal All-Ireland winner Rory Kavanagh has been named the new Glen boss.

He replaces Malachy O’Rourke who took over as Tyrone manager in September.

O’Rourke led the club to three county titles, two Ulster Club triumphs and an All-Ireland success last January after being appointed in late 2020.

Kavanagh lifted the Sam Maguire in 2012 and also won three Ulster titles with his county in his playing days.

He took over as manager of his former club St Eunan’s in November 2020, leading them to their first Donegal SFC title in seven years in his first season as manager.

Kavanagh left the club at the end of the 2023 championship.

Glen were stunned 1-12 to 2-8 by Newbridge in the Derry Senior Football final last month.

The shock defeat brought to an end their three-year stranglehold on the competition as well as their bid to retain their Derry, Ulster and All-Ireland titles.
