John McEntee has been appointed as the new manager of Monaghan, taking over from Gabriel Bannigan. The decision was ratified at a county board meeting on Monday night. McEntee, a former All-Ireland winner, previously managed Inniskeen for four seasons. Under Bannigan, Monaghan won the Division Two title in 2025 and reached consecutive All-Ireland quarter-finals, but were relegated from Division One in 2026. McEntee's appointment marks his first role at the inter-county level after leading Inniskeen to two finals.
