Six seasons. Four managers. Since returning from the AFL, Conor Glass has become uncomfortably familiar with the off-season search for a new boss.
Derry have dealt with their fair share of instability. No one emerges unscathed from that.

Glass joined the panel in 2020 under Rory Gallagher. In 2023, Gallagher resigned following allegations of domestic abuse. Mickey Harte and Paddy Tally both lasted a single season before Ciarán Meenagh took over ahead of 2026.
