KILDARE GAA HAVE confirmed on Thursday night that Brian Flanagan will continue as senior football manager for the 2027 season. Flanagan was appointed as the new Kildare football boss in August 2024 for a four-year term and ‘a comprehensive review’ took place this year after the completion of his second season in charge. Kildare have now revealed Flanagan will remain in his position ‘with the full support’ of GAA chiefs in the county.

They lost out in the Leinster championship with an extra-time semi-final defeat at the hands of Westmeath, before suffering defeats against Galway and Kerry in the All-Ireland series.
