Ger Brennan appointed Dublin senior football team manager

Ger Brennan has been appointed as the manager of the Dublin senior football team on a three-year term.

Brennan guided Louth to Leinster SFC glory, defeating Meath in a memorable decider at Croke Park in May.

During his own playing career, the St Vincent's clubman won two All-Ireland SFC titles with Dublin.

"I feel very fortunate to have been given this opportunity to continue to build and add to the success of my predecessors, a couple of great men who I've been fortunate enough to play under," Brennan told Dubs TV.

"I've thoroughly enjoyed my experiences elsewhere over the last number of years. I learned quite along that journey, making new friends too. And with Dessie stepping away after an incredible six years of service that he gave - and more than that with the U20s and minors and his own playing career - the stars aligned in terms of myself and the opportunity that's here right now.

"As a player myself, something we were always taught by managers and coaches, was try to leave the jersey in a better place.

"That's something I'll be working hard at. To ensure that when my term comes to an end that I've been able to build on the success of my predecessors."
