He led Dublin to five All-Ireland titles.

Dublin ladies football manager Mick Bohan has announced his shock resignation after eight years in charge. 

The news has come as a surprise to many GAA fans. 

Bohan has been involved with the Dublin GAA set up since 2002. 

In a statement, he said: “I am so thankful to have had such a fulfilling coaching career with so many great players, mentors and coaches but more importantly so many special people.

“I have been honoured to represent Dublin during this time and the standards that we set were equally about how we represented our county as it was about winning silverware.

“These past eight years I have found myself in the privileged position as manager of the Dublin Senior Ladies team, an incredible group of young women who show such pride in the blue and navy.

“I do believe they have changed the landscape of how ladies football is played for the better and I am so proud of how the players carried themselves both in victory and defeat. This city means a lot to all of us and our games are special.

“The team and I took all of this on board every time we got the opportunity to represent.”

He also thanked the County Board for their "unwavering support", as well as his family for "affording me the time to follow my passion at this level of sport.”
