Galligan steps down as Cavan manager

Raymond Galligan has stepped away from his role as Cavan football manager citing work commitments.

The 2020 All-Star and Ulster SFC-winning captain has left the post after two years in the role.

Galligan, based in Dublin as a manager of a day centre in Rathfarnham for adults with intellectual disabilities, led Cavan to third and fourth-place finishes in Division 2 of the National League having replaced Mickey Graham in September 2023.

The Breffni men enjoyed notable wins over Monaghan and Mayo in successive championships, and faced only Division 1 opposition in both years.

This year's campaign concluded with a 3-20 to 1-17 defeat to Kerry in an All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final.

The Lacken club man told the Anglo-Celt that his work and family life, coupled with the extensive travel from Dublin, meant he could not give the Cavan job total commitment for another year.

Cavan will now be seeking a third manager in as many years.
