Overview
- Offaly GAA confirmed that joint senior managers Declan Kelly and Mickey Harte have stepped down from their roles in a county board statement.
- The county board said Harte felt it was appropriate to leave after Kelly decided to step down, making the resignations a linked decision.
- This season the team were relegated from Division Two, exited the Leinster Senior Football Championship in the first round, and lost the Tailteann Cup semi-final to Wicklow by 2-26 to 4-15.
- Mickey Harte joined the management team in 2024 and brought a high-profile record from spells with Tyrone, Louth and Derry while Declan Kelly had led Offaly since 2023 and together they won promotion to Division Two in 2025.
- The county board thanked Kelly, Harte, head coach Luke Bree and the backroom team for their service and said no successor has been announced, leaving Offaly to begin a search that will shape preparations for next season.
