Jack Sheedy has resigned as Longford football manager after two seasons in charge that brought four championship wins.
The Midlanders were relegated from Division 3 in the Dubliner's first season in 2014 but went on to beat Offaly in Leinster.
They topped the table in Division 4 this year to win promotion and reversed their league final defeat to Offaly when the sides met in the Leinster SFC first round in May.
Longford suffered a heavy defeat to Dublin in the quarter-finals but bounced back with qualifier wins over Carlow and Clare before being eliminated by Kildare in the third round.
A statement on the Longford GAA website said: "Longford GAA’s Executive Committee at its meeting last night were informed of the resignation of Jack Sheedy as senior football manager. In his letter of resignation, Jack noted the huge amount of time and commitment he had given to the role over the past two years, which ultimately impacted on other areas of his life, and for that reason Jack has decided to devote more time to his family.
"Longford GAA’s Executive Committee thank Jack and his backroom team for their efforts over the past two years and wish them well in whatever role they decide to take up in the future.
"Jack had a successful first year with our U21s and after a slow start at senior level brought Longford out of Division 4 this current year and given us our longest run in the qualifiers in a number of years. Jack successfully moulded a number of players to senior ranks following on from the retirement of a number of vastly experienced players."
