OFFALY HAVE APPOINTED Emmet McDonnell to take charge of the county’s senior football panel, it was announced on Saturday.
The Westmeath native was selected by a four-man committee to replace interim manager Tom Coffey.
After presiding over a disappointing Championship campaign which ended with defeat to Tipperary in the first round of the All-Ireland qualifiers, Coffey indicated that he did not wish to be considered for a permanent position with the Faithful.
McDonnell is currently the manager of Meath intermediate side Ballinabrackey and led St Mary’s Secondary School to the All-Ireland Colleges title earlier this season.
