Ex-Donegal manager Bonner appointed Fermanagh boss
Bonner won back-to-back Ulster titles during his second spell as Donegal boss
- Published
Former Donegal manager Declan Bonner has been appointed the new Fermanagh senior football boss.
Bonner succeeds Kieran Donnelly, who stepped down in August after four years at the helm.
The 60-year-old won an All-Ireland title as a player with Donegal in 1992 and then had two spells in charge of his native county.
He managed Tir Chonaill from 1997-2000 and then again between 2017-2022, winning back-to-back Ulster titles during his second spell in 2018 and 2019.
Bonner has left club side Erne Gaels to take over as Fermanagh boss having led the team to the 2024 Fermanagh title in his maiden season in charge.
In what proved to be Donnelly's final season in charge, Fermanagh suffered a last-gasp loss to Down in the Ulster SFC quarter-final and reached the semi-finals of the Tailteann Cup where they lost to eventual champions Kildare.
