Paddy Christie has stepped down as manager of the Longford senior football team.
The former Dublin star took charge of Longford in August 2022 and enjoyed his stint with the midlanders'.
Longford GAA released a statement confirming Christie's departure. "It was a very difficult decision as I have great admiration for the people in the county - players, management, club delegates, supporters, and the officers of the County Board," Christie said.
"I’ve enjoyed my time in Longford, I was treated very well, and made very welcome throughout the county. Big thanks to everyone involved, of which there are too many to mention.
"A special mention to the County Executive, Club Longford and our team sponsors, Glennon Brothers who always tried to accommodate any request, big or small and supported us all along the way. While results didn’t always go our way, these setbacks shouldn’t take away from a lot of good work done in the last two years which will, I believe, serve the team and county well in to the future.
"I want to wish everyone involved with Longford GAA all the very best for the season ahead.”
