Manager (Gaelic games)

In Gaelic games, a manager or (in Irish) bainisteoir is involved in the direction and instruction of the on-field operations of a team.

A portion of the east coast of Ireland, including Dublin, was able to receive the channel and programme, which showed coverage of association football, where "manager" was the common term used for the coach or supervisor of the team.

[5] This later played a role in changing the management structure of Gaelic Athletic Association teams as the Dublin football revival of the 1970s evolved.

[11] Changes to these rules, including the "effective eradication of the Maor Foirne role", were agreed following the 2021 GAA Congress.

Jim Gavin is the second-most successful inter-county manager, with 6 All-Ireland titles for Dublin - including a record-breaking 5 in a row between 2015 and 2019.
