Joe McMahon and Martin Corey have stepped down from their roles as selectors/coaches with the Meath senior football team.
This surprising news emerged following the conclusion of the Royal County's Allianz Football League campaign. Meath finished third in Division 2.
They garnered eight points from their campaign with four wins and three losses, coming behind Monaghan and Roscommon who qualified for the final.
In a statement released by the Meath County Board this evening, the departures were confirmed.
"Following the conclusion of the Allianz Football Football League, Joe McMahon and Martin Corey have stepped down from their roles as Selectors/Coaches with the Meath Senior Football Team," it read.
"Robbie Brennan and the Meath Co Management Committee thank both Joe and Martin for their efforts since their appointment and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
"The Senior Football panel and management continue their preparations for the opening round of the Leinster SFC against Carlow.
"There is no further comment to make at this time."
After a bright start to their Allianz League campaign, Meath eventually finished third in Division 2 and failed to reach the second-tier league final.
The Royals lost their last league game of the season to Louth and suffered the loss of star forward Jordan Morris to what looked like a serious injury.
