Paul Grimley
Paul Grimley is the former manager of the Gaelic football team Armagh county.
Grimley arrived at Armagh as Paddy O'Rourke's assistant, and remained in the role for a year before becoming manager following O'Rourke's resignation in July 2012.[1] After two years in the role, Grimley resigned as Armagh's manager on August 13, 2014, replaced by his former boss from Kildare, Kieran McGeeney.[2]
In an 'unprecedented' move, Grimley issued a public apology statement to the fans forum on the Armagh's GAA's official website in 2013, following a four-point defeat to Cavan county in the Ulster championship.
Grimley was involved in management for 13 years.[3] He had previously served as assistant to Kieran McGeeney after McGeeney was appointed manager of the Kildare county team in 2007.[4]
Grimley criticised the media's 'witch hunt' for Gaelic football player Tiernan Kelly over an eye-gouging incident in the All-Ireland quarter-final between Armagh and Galway in June 2022.[5]
