Dublin GAA Announces New Management Team for 2026

Dublin GAA has made an exciting announcement, revealing the new management team for the senior football team in 2026. The team, led by Ger Brennan, includes several familiar faces who have been instrumental in the club's success over the past 15 years.

Among the new additions are Stephen Cluxton, former captain of Pobal Parnell, Dean Rock from Ballymun Kickhams, and Denis Bastick of Templeogue Synge St. Cluxton, who turns 44 later this month, will take up the position of assistant coach.

Cluxton, Rock, and Bastick have an impressive track record, having been part of the panels that brought historic levels of success to Dublin. They were key members of the multiple All-Ireland-winning teams in 2011 and '13. Ger Brennan, who has been successful both as a player and coach, will be joining forces with his former teammates.

Ken O'Sullivan, Dublin chair, expressed his appreciation for the high-calibre management team. He wished Brennan and the panel all the best for the 2026 campaign and beyond. O'Sullivan also acknowledged the contributions of the three players, stating that they have given much to Dublin GAA during their playing careers.

The new management team also includes Professor Niall Moyna from St Vincent's, who was part of the management team for Dublin's All-Ireland success in 2011. Moyna has played a key role in the success and growth of Gaelic games in the county, with Dublin, St Vincents, and DCU at colleges level.

The team boasts a total of four former players and one professor, all of whom have experience from Dublin's All-Ireland success in 2011. The new management team's future promises to be as successful as their past, given their extensive experience and dedication to the sport.

As for Stephen Cluxton's future as a player, there is no indication whether he will continue to play with the team. Regardless, his decision to join the management team is a testament to his enduring passion for Dublin GAA.

With this new management team in place, Dublin GAA fans can look forward to another exciting season in 2026. The team's rich history of success and the experience of its management team promise a promising future for Dublin football.
