Shock as Graham steps down just weeks into stint as Leitrim manager

Mickey Graham has stepped down as Leitrim senior manager just two months after taking over the job from former Mayo footballer Andy Moran.

Graham joined Moran's backroom team in 2023 and succeeded him as manager when the Ballaghaderreen man stepped down earlier this year.

However, the Cavan man has now stepped down from that role.

Leitrim GAA released the following statement: "Leitrim GAA Management Committee at its meeting this evening was informed of the decision by Mickey Graham not to continue in the role of Leitrim Senior Football Manager for 2025."

"Mickey was fully committed and looking forward to his role ahead but circumstances beyond his control have led to him making this decision and regrettably, for all concerned, he will not be continuing in his appointed position."

"Leitrim GAA will now recommence the process of appointing a new manager."
