Ulster

Fermanagh - Pat King 1996-2000

Stepped down after last month's defeat to Armagh, stating that he had taken the county as far as he could in four years. New appointment yet to be confirmed.

Monaghan - Jack McCarville 1999-2002

Completed the first of his three-year term this summer. Suffered first round loss to Fermanagh.

Cavan - Val Andrews 1998-2001

Came in 18 months ago after the player revolt against Liam Austin and despite the disappointing first round loss to Derry, was this week reappointed for another year.

Derry - Eamonn Coleman 1998-2000

The latest casualty. Although the Derryman had indicated that this might be his last year, the Derry camp were nonetheless stunned by the abruptness of his departure. Will be a tough personality to follow. The county board have yet to decide on its next step.

Antrim - Brian White 1999-2001

Started in November of last year (the 16th manager in the last seven years) also on a yearly basis but was immediately reappointed for another season after taking Antrim to the provincial semi-final and the indications are that he will stay for three years.

Down - Pete McGrath, 1989-present

One of the longest serving managers in Ulster since coming in 11 years ago and although his contract has been renewed every year, he has yet to confirm his commitment for 2001.

Armagh - Brian McAlinden, Brian Canavan 1995-2001

Began their term in October 1995 and last year that was renewed for another two seasons, taking them through to the end of the 2001 championship.

Tyrone - Art McRory, Eugene McKenna 1999-2001

Returned to the ropes at the end of last year and will continue for another year despite their opening loss to Armagh.

Donegal - Declan Bonner 1997-2000

Bonner ended his three-year term by immediately stepping down after the defeat to Fermanagh and the county is still on the search for a successor.

Clare - Tommy Curtin 1998-2000

Despite Sunday's loss, he is almost certain to extend his two-year term. The most successful manager in the county since John Maughan.

Waterford - Greg Fives 2000

He was appointed for this year's championship to replace John Cummins and is awaiting a county board decision on whether or not he will be reappointed for another year.

Limerick - Liam Kearns 1999-2001

Took over the senior and under-21 side at the start of the season and is likely to have an option of renewing the two-year contract at the end of next year.

Took over from Billy Morgan for the 1997 championship and his current two-year term sees him through to the end of next year's championship.
