Kerry Ratifies Jack O’Connor Two-Year Senior Football Manager Extension

Jack O'Connor has been confirmed to remain as the Kerry senior football manager for another two years, ending speculation about his future following the team's recent All-Ireland triumph over Donegal. His management team, including Cian O'Neill, Aodán Mac Gearailt, and James Costello, will stay in place with Pa McCarthy being added as a fourth selector. O'Connor has won five All-Ireland titles with Kerry across three separate terms, with his latest win in 2025 bringing Kerry their 39th title. This extension marks his longest tenure as Kerry manager, and he aims to achieve back-to-back All-Ireland wins for the first time during his leadership. Despite initially hinting that 2025 might be his final year, player support and board ratification have encouraged him to continue. Under O'Connor, Kerry also secured the Munster Championship and Division One National League titles this season, highlighting a dominant year for the team.
