The former Kilcoo boss managed Edendork this season and joins Kieran Donaghy and Ciaran McKeever in Kieran McGeeney's backroom team
The Derry native will join Kieran Donaghy and Ciaran McKeever in Kieran McGeeney’s backroom team as the Orchard County seek a return to Division One in the spring.
McGeeney, who captained Armagh to the All-Ireland title in 2002, was ratified for a tenth year as Armagh boss back in August after club delegates backed ‘Geezer’ to remain at the helm for another season.Donaghy’s continued involvement with Armagh had been up in the air until last week when it was confirmed that the former Kerry star would remain also.
Gilligan’s addition is an obvious coup for Armagh, who suffered two agonising penalty shootout losses to Derry and Monaghan in the Ulster Final and All-Ireland quarter-final respectively. The Ballinderry clubman coached Kilcoo to an All-Ireland club title in 2022 before taking over from Mickey Moran along with Richard Thornton last season.Gilligan then took over as Edendork's manager for 2023 with St Malachy’s pulling off a shock first round upset against last season’s Tyrone finalists Carrickmore.
They suffered a one-point loss to Trillick in the Tyrone SFC quarter-final last weekend with Lee Brennan scoring an injury-time winner.Sign up to our free sports newsletter to get the latest headlines to your inbox
