McMahon won two All-Ireland titles as a player with Tyrone and also worked as a coach under the joint-management team of Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher which led Tyrone to Ulster and All-Ireland success in 2021.
Corey previously coached Cavan and Monaghan to the semi-final stages of the All-Ireland championship.
