Mike Solan set to take over as Offaly football manager

Solan recently stepped away as Longford manager after two years in the role.

MIKE SOLAN IS set to be appointed as the new manager of the Offaly senior footballers.

Offaly GAA have confirmed that Solan will be proposed by the management committee on a three-year term at the next county board meeting in September.

He will be joined by coaches/selectors Joe Keane and Nigel Dunne.

The Offaly job has been vacant since joint-managers Mickey Harte and Declan Kelly stepped down in July.

Earlier this month, Solan ended his time as Longford manager after two years in the role.

Solan took charge at Longford in August 2024, guiding the county to claim promotion this spring to Division 3 of the Allianz football league. Longford lost out in their Leinster opener this year to eventual provincial champions Westmeath.

In this seasonโ€™s Tailteann Cup, Longford lost out to Fermanagh, defeated Clare, and were then knocked out by Down in Round 3.

Ballaghaderreen man Solan is a former All-Ireland U21 winning manager with Mayo in 2016. He also served as assistant manager to Andy Moran with Leitrim in 2022 and 2023.
