Declan Bonner confirmed as new senior manager of Fermanagh
Bonner, who played as Donegal won the 1992 All-Ireland, and guided the county to two Ulster titles as manager, takes up the role as Fermanagh manager for the 2026 season
Fermanagh have confirmed the appointment of Declan Bonner as their new senior football manager.
The 1992 All-Ireland winner takes over from Kieran Donnelly, who lost out in the Ulster SFC quarter-final, before reaching the Tailteann Cup semi-finals, but were beaten by eventual winners, Kildare.
Bonner has previous experience in inter-county management, leading the county to a first Ulster final for five years in 1998 before losing out against Derry in a three-year term in charge.
He came back again in 2018 for a second spell and led the side to back-to-back Ulster titles in his first two years, before stepping aside in 2022 after an Ulster final loss to Derry was followed up by an All-Ireland elimination at the hands of Armagh.
More recently at club level, he led his native Na Rossa to a Junior A championship title in 2023 before guiding Erne Gaels to the Fermanagh SFC title for the first time since 1981, ending a 43-year drought for the club.
