Dublin LGFA are on the hunt for a new senior management team after joint bosses Derek Murray and Paul Casey decided not to continue for a third season.

Murray and Casey were appointed joint managers in December 2024, going on to win the All-Ireland title with victory over Meath in their first season. This year, Dublin were relegated from Division 1 and lost to Kerry at the semi-final stage. 

"The executive committee would like to thank Derek and Paul most sincerely for their professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm during their term not only as senior managers but previously as key members of the Dublin senior management team," Dublin LGFA said in a statement.

"Their service to Dublin has been incredible and we as a committee have been most fortunate to have had the privilege to work closely alongside both men. Derek and Paul are a credit to their clubs, Round Tower Clondalkin and Lucan Sarsfields.

"Everyone involved in Dublin LGFA would like to wish Derek and Paul all the very best with their future endeavours. We are also extremely thankful to their wives Debbie, Ciara and family members for their unwavering support over the years.

"A special word of appreciation also to the various backroom personnel who worked alongside Derek and Paul over the last two seasons. The work that goes on behind the scenes is enormous, and the dedication, expertise and commitment shown by every member of the management and backroom team has been outstanding.

"The Dublin Executive Committee will now begin the process of selecting and appointing a new Dublin senior management team."
