O'Shea resigns as Kerry manager

Pat O'Shea has stepped down as the Kerry senior football manager citing personal reasons for his decision

Pat O'Shea has stepped down as the Kerry senior football manager citing personal reasons for his decision. O'Shea guided the Kingdom to All-Ireland success in 2007 but came in for some criticism following their narrow defeat to Tyrone in this year's final.

The Dr Crokes man's decision brings to an end his two-year reign as Kerry manager.

Meanwhile, former Fermanagh manager Charlie Mulgrew and former county star Declan Bonner look set to be ratified as the new Donegal management team at the next Monday's county board meeting.
