McHugh has built up a significant and varied coaching CV. Brought in to help the Fermanagh minor team in 2020, he has coached Roscommon under Davy Burke, the Donegal ladies’ team and Galway club Moycullen.

He arrives after being part of the management team in Monaghan club Corduff, manager Seamus McEnaney bringing in McHugh to work alongside his other coach and McHugh’s former manager with Donegal, Rory Gallagher.
This is McHugh’s first posting as a manager and he will be joined by Emmet McDonnell as assistant/selector, with Ryan Daly as head coach/selector and Stephen “Archie” Beattie also a coach. Jamie Gunoud has also been confirmed as a selector with Tom Gribben the head of performance/strength and conditioning.
This leaves Fermanagh as the only county football manager without a manager, after Kieran Donnelly unexpectedly left the post recently. The frontrunner for the role is Declan Bonner, who managed Erne Gaels to the county title last year.
