Eamonn O'Hara and Dessie Sloyan named as joint managers of Sligo

Sligo GAA have confirmed former Sligo footballers Eamonn O'Hara and Dessie Sloyan will take over as joint managers of the county on a three-year term.

The duo will take over from Tony McEntee, who stepped down as manager following their Tailteann Cup quarter-final defeat to Fermanagh after five years in charge.

O'Hara has guided his native Tourlestrane to five consecutive county titles before overseeing back-to-back titles in Leitrim with Mohill.

Sloyan managed the Sligo U20 team to Connacht success in 2022 and was part of the Longford senior set-up under Paddy Christie. He also managed his own club Easkey and is currently part of the Knockmore coaching ticket in Mayo.

Con O'Meara will be head coach with former Donegal star Eamon McGee also involved as a coach and selector.

Sean Boyle will continue  as strength and conditioning coach with Dr Stephen Gilmartin continuing as team doctor, Alan Dunne leading physio and rehabilitation and Aidan Carty continuing as kit man.
