- Published
Mickey Harte has been Tyrone's senior manager since 2003
Tyrone manager Mickey Harte is to stay in charge for another three years after agreeing a new contract with the Red Hand county.
Harte, who led Tyrone to All-Ireland Championships in 2003, 2005 and 2008, was in the final year of his current three-year contract.
A recommendation to offer him a deal up to 2015 was endorsed by the Tyrone Committee in Carrickmore on Tuesday.
Tyrone face Armagh in a big Ulster Championship clash on 10 June.
"It is a great privilege to be asked to remain in charge of the Tyrone senior football team, and I gladly accepted that offer," said Harte.
"To be asked to manage the best players your county has to offer is still a wonderful honour."
Harte managed his club Errigal Ciaran and led Tyrone Minors to All-Ireland success before moving up to become senior boss in 2003.
