Armagh ratify Kieran McGeeney as manager for two more years
Monday 5 August 2019 20:50, UK
Armagh GAA have announced that Kieran McGeeney will remain at the helm for another two years.
'Geezer' has been in charge of the Orchard County since late 2014, guiding them to their first victory in the Ulster Championship this year, when they beat Down in the quarter-final.
They eventually lost to Cavan after a replay, but emphatically bounced back with a qualifier win over Monaghan in Clones.
McGeeney's charges were eventually knocked out of the championship by Mayo in Castlebar.
Many feel that 2019 was a year of real progress for the Ulster county, as young stars like Jarly Óg Burns and Rian O'Neill made telling impacts, and the return of Jamie Clarke also bolstered the side.
Former Kildare boss McGeeney will be hoping to build on that in the coming seasons, as they look ahead to 2020 with real optimism.
Meanwhile, Padraig O'Connor has been re-appointed as manager of the county's senior hurlers.
