Coyle reappointed as Monaghan football boss

Former Meath All-Ireland winner Colm Coyle has been reappointed as Monaghan senior football manager at a meeting of the Farney county board.

Coyle led Monaghan to an amazing defeat of Armagh in the first round of the Ulster championship but that was as good as it got with defeats to Down and Meath in the qualifiers.

However, the Monaghan board believe that Coyle, who also manages the county U-21s, is the man to lead them forward and agreed to retain his services for another year. Coyle has yet to name his backroom team.
