Paddy Tally

Paddy Tally (born 1970s) He left Galway when a managerial vacancy arose after Éamonn Burns left his role as Down senior manager. Down lost all their home 2022 National Football League games as punishment. Tally's ban was later reduced. Although Down approved a one-year extension, Tally did not think Down's clubs' vote on the issue was large enough to give him the confidence to stay as manager. Ahead of that game (when it turned out he shared a club with referee Sean Hurson), Galway manager Pádraic Joyce was asked to comment on this, as was Kerry manager Jack O'Connor.

He was appointed as manager for Derry county football team for the 2025 season.

Paddy is currently part of the Mayo coaching team for 2026 along with manager Andy Moran and other coach Colm Boyle.
