Chrissy McKaigue on leaving Derry GAA set-up, and inside the Rory Gallagher fall-out

Former Derry captain Chrissy McKaigue joins Cahair O’Kane and Neil Loughran in the latest episode of The Monday Club.

In a wide-ranging conversation, McKaigue reveals that this could be his last season playing - despite helping Sleacht Néill hurlers to a 14th successive county crown, and the club’s footballers into the Derry SFC quarter-final on Sunday.

A move into coaching was always on the cards but, having spent last year as part of Ciaran Meenagh’s backroom team, the All-Star corner-back reveals why he has since decided to step away.

Could he be manager of Derry in future? Or would the lure of another county hold greater appeal?

And then there is the Rory Gallagher question - McKaigue takes listeners inside the tumultuous days leading into the 2023 Ulster final, after the Derry boss stepped aside in the wake of domestic abuse allegations.
