Longford seeking new leader as Jack Sheedy steps down

Longford GAA chiefs are on the hunt for a new senior football manager after Jack Sheedy resigned the post on Tuesday night.

Sheedy informed the Longford executive of his decision late on Tuesday, citing the impact of the job on his family life as the primary reason for departing.

The former Dublin footballer is the third inter-county football manager to resign in the space of four days, Tipperary’s Peter Creedon and Derry Brian McIver’s stepping off the managerial carousel over the weekend.
