Darren McGinley in action for Glenswilly in the 2013 Ulster Club SFC final
CLG Ghleann tSúilí has ratified the appointment of Darren McGinley as Senior Men’s Team Manager for the 2026 season, following a meeting of the Executive Committee.
McGinley, whose father John was a founding member of the club in 1982, takes over from Gary McDaid, who won two Donegal SFC titles in 2011 and 2013 and then was part of manager Michael Canning's team that won the title again in 2016. McDaid returned to the position two years ago and his side lost out to Four Masters 2-15 to 0-18 in last year's Donegal SFC preliminary quarter-final.

McGinley, as a player, was part of Glenswilly's three Donegal SFC title crowns.
"We wish Darren, his incoming backroom team and the players every success for the season ahead," CLG Ghleann tSúilí posted. "The club would also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank outgoing manager Gary McDaid and his management team for their time, effort and overall contribution to the Senior Men's team over the past two seasons, and we wish them well into the future. The remaining adult team management positions will be ratified by the club executive committee in due course."
