Former Donegal and Derry GAA manager Rory Gallagher will not be coaching Naas.
It had been reported widely that Gallagher was to become a coach for the Kildare side for the 2025 season.
Gallagher looked set to work under Naas manager Joe Murphy at the Kildare club as they aim to make it five county title successes in a row and have a real crack at the Leinster championship.
However, RTÉ Sport has now reported Gallagher will not now be part of the backroom staff this year.
Gallagher stepped back from his role as Derry manager in May 2023 following serious allegations regarding his private life.
In a social media posting, Gallagher’s former wife Nicola claimed she had been the victim of domestic violence over a period of years during their marriage.
Gallagher stated that any allegations against him had been investigated and no charges were brought.
Last September, Gallagher, through his lawyer, released a statement stating he “fully intends to return to inter-county management in the near future” amid links to a Derry return.
However, Paddy Tally ultimately replaced the outgoing Mickey Harte in the Oak Leaf hot seat.
