Eamonn McEneaney

Eamon McEneaney is an Irish former Gaelic football manager and player for the Castleblayney Faughs club and at senior level for the Monaghan county team.

McEneaney won the National Football League in 1985 while playing for Monaghan. He captained his club to two Ulster Senior Club Football Championship titles in 1986 and 1991.

In retirement, McEneaney managed the Louth county team between 2006 and 2009, winning the 2009 O'Byrne Cup. He then managed the senior Monaghan county team from 2010 until 2012.

Playing career As a player with Monaghan, McEneaney won three Ulster Senior Football Championship titles: in 1979, 1985 and 1988. He also won an U-21 title as a player in 1981 and as manager of Monaghan U-21's in 1999. He captained his club Castleblayney Faughs to two Ulster Senior Club Football Championship titles in 1986 and 1991.

Coaching career McEneaney managed Monaghan in a joint capacity with former GAA president Seán McCague in 1997 and then on his own in 1998 and 1999, winning an All-Ireland Senior B Football Championship title in 1998. He subsequently had a spell in charge of Louth from 2006 to 2009, guiding them to a Division 2 league title, the 2009 O'Byrne Cup and a first Leinster Junior Football Championship title since 1966.

McEneaney succeeded Séamus McEnaney as manager of the Monaghan senior football team in October 2010, after McEnaney declined to allow his name go forward for the role he had held for the previous six years. The Monaghan County Board decided in August 2010 that McEnaney would be forced to go through the nomination process after a poor finish to the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC).

In July 2012, McEneaney left his role as Monaghan manager after an All-Ireland SFC qualifier defeat to Laois. He said:
