Andy McEntee has been named as the new manager of the Meath footballers.

The highly rated McEntee guided Ballyboden St Enda's to All Ireland club glory in March.

Gerry McEntee, Donal Curtis, and Finian Murtagh have been named as selectors in the Meath set-up.

McEntee steered the Meath minor team to an All Ireland final appearance in 2012, but Dublin won that decider on a 0-14 to 1-5 scoreline.

Mick O'Dowd stepped down as the Royals boss following their All Ireland SFC Round 2A qualifiers loss against Meath at Owenbeg on July 9.
