Dessie Farrell steps down as Dublin Senior Football manager

Dessie Farrell has announced that he is stepping down as Dublin Senior Football manager after six seasons in charge.

Dessie led the team to two All-Ireland successes in that time, in 2020 and 2023.

He also guided the team to five Leinster titles and a League title in 2021.

Dublin County Board Chairperson Ken O’Sullivan has thanked Dessie for his immense contribution to Gaelic Games in the County across several decades.

“Dessie has played many significant roles across Dublin GAA and will feature heavily in the history of Gaelic Games in the county”, says Ken.

“Many will remember him first as an All-Ireland winner and All-Star, as part of the great 1995 Dublin All-Ireland winning team.

“Dublin GAA have been so fortunate to have Dessie involved with County panels from Development squad level through to the Dublin Senior panel.

“He led Dublin to success at all levels, managing teams to All-Ireland titles at Minor, U21 and Senior grade.

“Dublin County Board thanks Dessie for his enormous contribution and dedication to Dublin GAA across so many years and we wish him and his family every success going forward.

“We also pay tribute to Dessie’s backroom team and his panel, who have brought so much success and joy to Dublin GAA supporters during his tenure.”
