McGeeney to succeed Grimley as Armagh boss

Kieran McGeeney is expected to be announced as Armagh manager after Paul Grimley stepped aside following Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final defeat to Donegal.

A statement released by the county board yesterday thanked Grimley for his work, which ended with a heartbreaking 1-12 to 1-11 defeat.

“Paul Grimley, Armagh senior football manager, has tendered his resignation to The Management Committee of Armagh County Board. Paul strenuously argued that it was the right thing to do as he had stressed on his appointment two years ago that he would embark on a development process and that he thought the process was ready to progress to another level,” the statement read.
