Three-time All-Ireland winning Corofin manager Kevin O'Brien steps down

O'Brien leaves with a remarkable record, winning 51 of 56 championship games — they were unbeaten for 49 in a row — drawing two and suffering just three defeats in six years

One of the most successful club managers in the history of the GAA has stepped down with Kevin O’Brien calling time on his term in charge of Corofin following their Galway county final defeat.

O’Brien served as a selector with Stephen Rochford for several seasons before taking charge of his native club in 2016 and continuing the success of the Mayo man who had guided them to their third Galway title in a row.
