Rory Gallagher has stepped down as the Fermanagh manager, it has been confirmed.

Gallagher has left the Erne county hot seat after two years in the job.

The former Donegal manager took on the role of his native Fermanagh after quitting as Tir Chonaill boss in 2017.

Gallagher guided Fermanagh to the 2018 Ulster final – their first final appearance in the years, which they lost to Donegal – and won promotion to Division 2 of the League

This year, Fermanagh were in the promotion hunt again and finished third, behind Donegal and Meath.

Donegal overcame Fermanagh at Brewster Park in the Ulster SFC and the Erne’s summer was ended by Monaghan in the first round of the qualifiers.

“We have been notified today by Rory Gallagher that he is stepping down from the position of Fermanagh Senior Team Manager,” the Fermanagh County Board said in a statement.

“Fermanagh County Committee would like to thank Rory and his entire backroom team for all their hard work and commitment over the last two years.

“We acknowledge the progress made in respect of their work with the county team having reached the Ulster final in 2018 and gaining promotion to NFL Division 2 in the same year, a status which was maintained in 2019.

“We wish Rory and all members of his backroom team every success for the future.”
