Eight-time All-Ireland winner and ex-Dublin ace to take over Kildare champions
Kildare Champions Naas are on the verge of appointing eight-time All-Ireland winner Philly McMahon as their new manager. Kildare Now are reporting the ex-Dublin star is set to take over the five-in-a-row chasing Kildare champions, who have been without a manager since the departure of Joe Murphy. Naas hit the headlines earlier this year when GAA President Jarlath Burns intervened after the club were on the verge of appointing ex-Derry boss Rory Gallagher. Burns spoke to the Naas Chairperson at the time to express his concerns and emailed the club. And now the club have opted for another high-profile name in the form of eight-time All-Ireland winner and two-time All-Star Philly McMahon. The ex-Dublin star was a regular starter for Jim Gavin's Dublin side and retired from intercounty football in 2021. He has since been doing media work for the BBC and the Irish Independent. Pressure will be on McMahon to deliver success as Naas chase a fifth consecutive county title and look to break their Leinster Championship duck.
