Kildare U20 Football Manager Resigns

Manager Brian Flanagan's statement

Kildare GAA have been informed by Brian Flanagan that he has decided to step down as Kildare GAA U20 Football Manager after three years in charge.

Brian won two Leinster Championships, reached two All-Ireland Finals, and was in charge in 2023 when Kildare won the U20 All-Ireland Football Final.

Kildare GAA responded saying: "Brian is a gentleman, and we cannot thank him enough for his contribution to Kildare GAA over the past three years. 

We would like to wish him the very best of luck in the future"

Statement from Brian Flanagan “I would like to thank my incredible backroom team(s) over the three years who worked tirelessly for the good of Kildare football. I would hope that as many of you as possible will stay involved into the future, in particular, my selectors Padraic Cribben, Sean O’Dea and Tommy Konstantin. You helped finish the journey that began three years ago with Emmet, Mark and Brian.

I would also like to thank the County Board for their support, in particular, Chairperson Mick Gorman.

To the Kildare fans that turned out in such numbers to support these young footballers over the past three years: You were incredible, and I can’t thank you enough for the encouragement you gave to these young players.

To the most important people - The Players!

You made the journey memorable and gave the people of Kildare some brilliant days out. You are the most honest, resilient and determined bunch of young footballers I have ever worked with. You are a credit to yourselves, your Clubs, and your families. Thank you all so much.

And finally, to my wife and children. This journey would not have been possible without your unwavering support each step of the way”.

Mise le meas,

Brian Flanagan
