John Cleary to remain on as Cork senior football boss for two more years
John Cleary has been handed a two-year extension to remain on as manager of the Cork senior footballers. A county committee meeting on Tuesday night rubberstamped Cleary's continued involvement after his term of three years at the helm ended with the Rebels' defeat to Dublin in the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final on 21 June. The Castlehaven clubman took over Cork on an initial basis from Keith Ricken in 2022 before assuming the role full-time. He went on to guide the county to All-Ireland quarter-final appearances against Dublin and Derry respectively. In 2024, Cork fell to Louth at the preliminary quarter-final stage and an exit at the same juncture was the case this year despite leading the Dubs at the break. Cleary will no doubt be keen to engineer Cork's promotion from Division 2 in 2026, all before a Munster Championship campaign where themselves and Kerry will be on opposites sides of the draw. The decision to keep the counties apart came after the Munster Council accepted a proposal that the top two teams from the province in the previous year's Allianz Football League be seeded. Kerry were crowned Division 1 champions back in March with Cork finishing fifth in Division 2. Clare, third in Division 3, were next best placed.

Cork Football boss John Cleary given two more years
Cork Football boss John Cleary has been ratified for another two years, the news of which was confirmed at Tuesday's County Board meeting. Cleary took over the job in 2022, initially on an interim basis, and has been in charge for each of the last three seasons. He was successfully ratified on Tuesday evening and will bring his management team forward next month for approval by Cork's County Board. Cleary nearly masterminded one of the shocks of the summer when Cork lost in extra time to eventual All-Ireland Champions Kerry in their Munster semi-final clash. In his first full year in charge, Cleary guided Cork to the All-Ireland quarter-final stages but bowed out in the preliminary quarter-finals in both 2024 and 2025. There was no news about the future of hurling manager Pat Ryan, although it appears likely the County Board may still be conducting its end-of-season review.

Confirmed: John Cleary staying on as Cork senior football boss
John Cleary has received a new two-year term as Cork senior football manager. The Castlehaven man was ratified for another couple of seasons at Tuesday's county board meeting. Cleary took over Cork on an interim basis in 2022 and has been in the permanent position for the last three seasons. Cleary's management team will be proposed for ratification at September's county board meeting. His backroom team for the past three seasons has comprised of coach Kevin Walsh, selectors Micheál Ó Croinín, James Loughrey and Barry Corkery, as well as performance coach Rob Heffernan. For the second year in a row, Cork bowed out at the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final stages when they lost to Dublin. They defeated Roscommon to make the knock-out stages, having beaten Donegal in the 2024 group phase before exiting the championship at the hands of Louth.
