Kieran McGeeney will remain Armagh senior football manager for 2025.

McGeeney was unsurprisingly backed by delegates on Tuesday night to stay at the helm for what will be his 11th year as Orchard County manager, having guided Armagh to All-Ireland glory in July.

“Following tonight’s County Committee meeting, club delegates unanimously supported Kieran McGeeney as the Senior County Football Manager and his backroom team for the 2025 season,” stated Armagh GAA.

McGeeney’s future was less secure last year when his position was voted upon by delegates, and though he survived the ballot it was a situation that hung over the set-up for much of the 2024 season.
