John McEntee has been appointed as the new manager of the Monaghan footballers. As revealed by RTÉ Sport on Saturday , the Armagh 2002 winner headed off competition from a number of candidates to take the position, with former Meath and Antrim boss Andy McEntee also interviewed while Séamus McEnaney was reported to be considering a possible third spell in the role. The Crossmaglen man, who has worked previously with Monaghan clubs Inniskeen and Clontibret, is taking his first inter-county role. McEntee, who replaces Gabriel Bannigan, will confirm his backroom team in the coming weeks.
