From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning managers since 1986. The term manager (or coach) only came into widespread use in the 1970s. Up until then football teams were usually run by selection panels. Sometimes they contained up to ten members, resulting in self-interest coming to the fore more often than not. All this changed with the appointment of a strong manager, surrounded by a small group of selectors.

By year[edit]

Mick O'Dwyer holds the record for most titles won as manager (8). The last title dates from 1986.
Jack O'Connor won four titles in three different spells as Kerry manager.
Mickey Harte won three titles as Tyrone manager in the 2000s.
Billy Morgan won consecutive titles as Cork manager in 1989 and 1990.
