Mickey Harte was not out of administration for long
Louth GAA has confirmed that former Tyrone coach Mickey Harte will take over his senior footballers for three years.
Errigal Ciarán’s man recently parted ways with the Red Hands after 18 seasons, during which he led the county to three Irish titles.
Harte will be joined by his right-hand man Gavin Devlin, with whom he worked at Tyrone.
The duo will also oversee the county’s U20 team.
“We would like to extend a very warm welcome to Mickey and Gavin to Louth and look forward to working closely with them over the next three years,” a statement read.

The announcement comes just 10 days after Harte’s departure as Tyrone’s manager. He will take over Leinster’s side as they seek promotion to Division 4 in the new year.
In the wake of his departure from Tyrone, torrents of praise flowed for his managerial acumen.
“There wasn’t a time when you were driving Donegal when you didn’t think about Mickey Harte and Tyrone,” Jim McGuinness said last week. “Because if you weren’t in that mindset, you wouldn’t win them!”
The surprise announcement comes after Wayne Kierans parted ways with Wee County earlier this month.
Kierans was not offered another term, after a disappointing 2020 season in which the team was relegated from Division 3 and suffered a Leinster Championship loss to Longford.
