Rory Gallagher was in charge of Donegal for three seasons, between 2015 and 2017
Former Donegal manager Rory Gallagher is set to take up a coaching role with Kildare GAA four-in-a-row champions Naas, it is being widely reported.
Gallagher, who led Derry to the Ulster SFC title in 2022, is reported to be linking up with Naas manager Joe Murphy for the 2025 season. The Belleek, Co Fermanagh native was part of the Donegal back-room team for their All-Ireland winning campaign of 2012 under the management of Jim McGuinness before taking over the side in October 2014, where he was in charge for three seasons.
Four-in-a-row champions, Naas, the dominant club side in Kildare football in recent times, lost their influential coach, Kevin Downes, who has emigrated with his family to the US following their victory over Celbridge in the 2024 Kildare SFC final. They will be hoping that Gallagher can prove the missing link to see them, not only make it five Kildare senior titles in a row, but that much sought-after provincial title.
