Ger Brennan has been appointed to succeed Dessie Farrell as new Dublin manager, the All-Ireland winning defender taking over on a three-year term.
Dublin GAA confirmed the news in a statement this afternoon, saying that his backroom team would be announced in due course.
“Ger has achieved the highest honours as a player with Dublin and he has our full support in leading the Dublin senior football panel in pursuit of further honours in the coming years,” Dublin county board chairman Ken O’Sullivan said in a statement.
“We wish Ger, his team and the panel the very best and look forward to the 2026 season.”
Brennan, centre-back on the Dublin All-Ireland winning sides of 2011 and 2013, guided Louth to a long-awaited Leinster title this summer.
It was the county’s first senior provincial title in 68 years and marked the first time a team other than Dublin had won the Leinster SFC since 2010.
Brennan departed the Louth post following their elimination from the championship at the hands of Donegal in the preliminary quarter-final.
He assumes the Dublin job in the wake of Farrell’s departure after six years in charge.
The Na Fianna clubman, who succeeded Jim Gavin in late 2019, presided over two All-Ireland title victories in 2020 and 2023, and stepped down following defeat to Tyrone at the quarter-final stage in 2025.
