Sligo GAA have confirmed the management group that will be working with senior football team manager Tony McEntee and assistant manager Joe Keane for the 2025 season.

Knockmore’s Kevin McLoughlin, who joined the Sligo management team at the beginning of the year will again be assisting next year for McEntee and Crossmolina native Keane. McLoughlin will have a special focus on forward play.

Colm McGee will join the coaching group working with the squad’s goalkeepers. McGee is current the senior team coach of Tubbercurry. In his playing days, he was a part of the forward line that won back to back league promotions from Division 4 to Division 2.
