Managerial career He managed Wexford's minor team, and also held senior roles during the managements of Jason Ryan and Aidan O'Brien, after which he was appointed as Wexford senior manager, succeeding Séamus McEnaney (known as "Banty"). He was appointed for a three-year term. Under McLoughlin's guidance, the team's 2018 National Football League campaign ended in relegation. After Derry defeated Wexford in a 2019 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship qualifier, McLoughlin tendered his resignation.
