McEneaney had previously managed Monaghan in a joint capacity with former GAA president Seán McCague in 1997 and then on his own in 1998 and 1999, winning an All-Ireland B Championship in 1998.
[1] McEneaney took over as manager of the Monaghan senior inter-county team in October 2010 from Seamus McEnaney who confirmed that he would not allow his name go forward for the role which he had held for the previous six years.
[2] The Monaghan County Board decided in August 2010 that McEnaney would be forced to go through the nomination process after a poor finish to the 2010 All-Ireland Championship.
In July 2012, McEneaney left the Monaghan job after an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship qualifier defeat to Laois.
I have a family and my own lad playing senior inter-county football and I have to go one way and he is going another on a Sunday morning.
