Paul Caffrey has been named as the new Dublin senior football manager.

Paul Caffrey has been named as the new Dublin senior football manager.

The Na Fianna club man, who was a selector under former boss Tommy Lyons, was interviewed on Wednesday for the position, and was unveiled by the county board last night.

Caffrey is well-known in Dublin GAA circles, having led Na Fianna to three county titles in a row in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

He also guided the club to the Leinster title in 1999, but they lost out in the All-Ireland final to Crossmaglen Rangers, managed then by current Armagh boss Joe Kernan.

Caffrey has put his management team together. Dave Billings will stay involved, while All-Ireland-winning players Paul Clarke and Brian Talty have also come on board.

The Dublin county board has worked fast to appoint a new boss since Brian Mullins turned down an offer to manage the Metropolitans last weekend.
