Ger Brennan resigns as Louth senior football manager

Ger Brennan has stepped down as manager of the Louth senior football team after two seasons, during which he led them to their first Leinster Senior Football Championship title in 68 years. Brennan's departure comes shortly after Dessie Farrell resigned as Dublin manager, with Brennan widely regarded as the leading candidate to take over the Dublin senior team. Under Brennan's leadership, Louth reached the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals but were defeated by Donegal. Brennan, a former two-time All-Ireland winner with Dublin as a player and club champion with St Vincent's, had one year remaining on his Louth contract but chose to leave amid speculation about his Dublin future. Louth is now searching for a new manager, with several internal candidates being considered to succeed Brennan. Brennan's move marks a significant shift in Gaelic football management, coinciding with other recent managerial changes in the sport.
