Quillinan to manage Glenflesk
There are a number of high profile managers on the move as clubs in the county begin the preparations for 2026. The big appointment is Wayne Quillinan, who has been appointed the manager of East Kerry intermediate club Glenflesk, replacing John B O’Donoghue, Seamus Moynihan, Shane Dennehy and Donie Donovan.
Quillinan is a major appointment for Glenflesk as he has spent the last three years managing the Kerry minor football team, winning three Munster MFCs in a row, reaching two All-Ireland Semi-Finals and this year, lost the All-Ireland Final to a crack Tyrone team by a single point. He has also won major honours with Austin Stacks, winning the Bishop Moynihan in 2021 and also three senior club championships and numerous county league titles to boot.
Quillinan’s management team will include Jonathan Conway and Rob Cussen. Conway has worked with Quillinan as a coach/selector at Austin Stacks and with the Kerry minors. Cussen will be the S&C coach and he has worked with Kerry inter-county teams as well as development squads.
