Louth GAA have confirmed that Ger Brennan is stepping down as manager of the senior footballers.

The former Dublin defender took up the post in 2023 and guided the Wee County to their first Leinster senior title in 68 years this season.

In a statement, the county board thanked Brennan for his "extraordinary dedication, professionalism and inspiring leadership."

A two-time All-Ireland winner with Dublin, Brennan took up the role ahead of this season following the departure of Mickey Harte.

Louth also reached the preliminary quarter-finals of this year's Sam Maguire, losing to Donegal.

The St Vincent’s man’s decision will intensify speculation he is going to take charge of his native Dublin following Dessie Farrell’s decision to end his six-year reign as Dublin boss on Saturday.

An All-Ireland SFC winner with Dublin in 2011 and ‘13, Brennan also won five Leinster medals as a player before retiring in 2015.
