Monaghan have strengthened their backroom team with the addition of Donie Buckley as head coach for 2021. Buckley was controversially removed from the Kerry backroom team by manager Peter Keane earlier this year, a decision which is understood to have grated with some of the players. He had been part of the management ticket in 2019 as Kerry brought Dublin to an All-Ireland final replay. Jonny Davis, who had been in Tyrone, will be strength and conditioning coach. Monaghan will have Ulster opponents – Donegal, Armagh and Tyrone – in their four-county Division 1 group in 2021.
