Jerome Stack has called time on his tenure as manager of the St. Brigid’s senior football team.

The Listowel native was in charge for two years, leading the team to Roscommon and Connacht titles in 2023 and culminating in last Sunday’s agonising one-point defeat against Glen in the All-Ireland club senior football final at Croke Park.

It is believed that Stack had informed the club earlier in the year that he wouldn’t be seeking a third year at the helm.

“Jerome has brought a wealth of coaching knowledge and experience to our team which brought us on a brilliant journey this year and saw our players bring that level of performance to Croke Park last Sunday.

“We know the players will benefit greatly in the future from Jerome’s time with St. Brigid's and his driven and meticulous work ethic.

“St. Brigid’s executive would sincerely like to thank Jerome for all his hard work, dedication and commitment to the club as manager. We would also like to extend our thanks to Jerome’s management and backroom team for their dedication over the past two years.

Wishing Jerome, the very best of luck in his future endeavours,” said the club in a post on Facebook.

The Roscommon Herald understands that a new manager is set to be ratified at the club’s AGM on Friday evening.
