Paul Curran has been appointed senior manager of Roscommon club Clann na nGael.
The former Dublin All-Star defender spent four years in charge of Ballymun Kickhams before stepping down from the post last month.
The Thomas Davis club man led Kickhams to county and Leinster SFC titles in 2012 and to an All-Ireland final in 2013, which they lost to Clann na nGael's old rivals St. Brigid's.
He also previously managed St. Mark's and Round Tower, Clondalkin before serving as a county U21 selector under current Dublin senior manager Jim Gavin.
Former Kickhams forward Derek Byrne, who was a member of the 2005 Dublin Leinster SFC squad, will be part of Curran's backroom team.
It's official. Former Dublin defender and Ballymun Kickhams manager Paul Curran is new manager of the Clann na nGael senior football team!
