Gabriel Bannigan has been confirmed as the new manager of Monaghan, replacing Vinny Corey who stepped down in August after two seasons in charge.
Former Leitrim manager Andy Moran is part of his backroom team along with John McElhone and Damien Freeman.
Bannigan is familiar with the squad having spent two seasons as a selector under Corey.
"Monaghan GAA is delighted to announce that Aughnamullen native Gabriel Bannigan was formally ratified as Senior Football Manager by Monaghan County Committee at a meeting earlier this evening.
"Gabriel will be joined by Andy Moran, John McElhone and Damien Freeman and has been appointed for a three-year term with a review after two years.
"Best wishes to Gabriel and his backroom team."
Before that, Bannigan enjoyed a fruitful period with home club Aughnamullen, taking them from junior football to senior football in three seasons in Monaghan.
He had previously worked with Dublin clubs Kilmacud Crokes and St Sylvester's.
Monaghan will start the 2025 season outside of Division 1 for the first time since 2015.
Conor McManus is yet to confirm whether he will be involved but Darren Hughes, who picked up a season-ending injury in the Ulster defeat to Cavan, returned to action for his club Scotstown last week.
