Westmeath football has been rocked by the news that Brendan Hackett has quit is post as Westmeath football manager.
Hackett contacted county chairman Tom Farrell to confirm his decision after meeting with the full panel of players last night.
The Westmeath Co. Board will meet next Wednesday night to discuss the vacant managerial position.
Hackett was appointed to the Lakes post last autumn, but under his stewardship his charges failed to win a match in the Division 2 of the Allianz NFL. However, the U-21 side did reach the Leinster final, where they were beaten by Dublin.
