WICKLOW MANAGER JOHNNY Magee has announced his decision to step down from the role, bringing an end to his three-year term in charge.
RTÉ Sport have reported the former Dublin footballer decided to resign as manager of the Garden County following their two-point defeat to Laois in Round 1A of the qualifiers last weekend.
It was a disappointing year for Wicklow, who managed just one win in Division 4 before they fell to a 1-19 to 1-14 loss to Louth in the Leinster SFC preliminary round.
Magee, who spent a decade at centre-back for Dublin and captained Kilmacud Crokes to All-Ireland glory, had to deal with significant squad turnover during his three-year term.
“I was reading the other day about the Clare hurlers,” he told The Star last year. “Davy Fitzgerald has 34 in his backroom team. He has more in his backroom team than I have bleeding training.”
Wicklow have plenty of time to appoint a successor, considering they won’t play another competitive game until 2018.
