GER BRENNAN HAS been confirmed as the new manager of the Louth senior footballers.

The former Dublin player was ratified tonight on a two-year-term, with the option of a third.

Brennan’s appointment comes on the back of Mickey Harte’s shock exit last month. The former Tyrone boss stepped down as Louth manager in order to take over at Derry.

DCU professor Niall Moyna – who has led the university to four Sigerson Cup titles – and former Down All-Ireland winner James McCartan will both join Brennan in Louth as selectors. Moyna is set to be head of coaching with McCartan Brennan’s forwards coach.

Former Kildare player David Whyte joins as transition coach, with Paul O’Flynn named as sports psychologist.
