All Ireland club winning manager with Glen set to re-enter county arena and will be confirmed on Tuesday.
MALACHY O’ROURKE WILL be the new Tyrone senior football manager, after no other nominations were received for the role after Tuesday’s deadline.As predicted by The 42.ie on the day the joint management of Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher stepped down, O’Rourke will be the latest to accept the reins at Garvaghy. This is now his third county managerial job, after spells in his native Fermanagh and later Monaghan, which yielded Ulster titles in 2013 and 2015.
Advertisement It was felt that Paul Devlin, the manager of those squads, might be prepared to let his name go forward, but O’Rourke’s experience and the nature of how he was sounded out for the role means it was always going to go to him. While Ryan Porter will be expected to come on board, he might also be interested in bringing along Johnny Bradley, the impressive statistics man who did so much work with Glen and is a native of Maghera.
O’Rourke’s arrival is sure to find favour with Tyrone’s frontline players, who have suffered a steep drop off in the last three seasons since they landed the Red Hands’ fourth All Ireland title in 2021.
