Dublin GAA boss Dessie Farrell to remain in job for two more years

Dublin GAA boss Dessie Farrell is set to remain in his job for two more years.

It has been confirmed that the Na Fianna man will continue as Dublin Senior Football manager after speculation that his three-year term will end in 2022.

Farrell will hope to bounce back to Division 1 next year to bid for the All-Ireland once again and a potential rematch with Kerry.

Dublin GAA took to social media to release the news, saying: "Dublin GAA County Committee are pleased to announce that Dessie Farrell will continue as Dublin Senior Football manager for a further two years”.
