CORK SENIOR FOOTBALL manager Conor Counihan has called time on his six-year reign.
The 53-year-old revealed the news on RTÉ during his post-match interview after the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final defeat to Dublin at Croke Park this evening.
Having took over in March 2008, he won the All-Ireland two years later as well as three Division 1 triumphs and three Munster titles.
An emotional Counihan spoke to the players after the game to inform them of his decision.
I’ve had six fantastic years with a great group of players,” he told RTÉ Sport.
“We were beaten by a better team. There’s no disgrace in that. I wish Dublin all the best in the remainder of it. There’s no discredit to our fellas. They fought to the very end and I’m proud of them.”
