Lohan's Clare tenure extended by another three years

Brian Lohan's tenure as Clare senior hurling manager has been extended by another three years.

At a county board meeting the decision was made with delegates overwhelmingly approving the extension.

RTÉ Sport has confirmed that Lohan's tenure will now run until the end of the 2028 season with county board delegates praising the Wolfe Tones man for his reign to-date. An iconic full-back in his playing days, Lohan led Clare to the All-Ireland title last year. Having won two All-Irelands as a player, Lohan was first ratified as the Banner boss in 2019.

In 2023, his tenure was officially extended and tonight his reign was increased for a third time. Last year, under Lohan and his backroom team of Ken Ralph, Tommy Corbett, Shane Hassett and Brendan Bugler, Clare achieved a league and championship double for the first time.

This year saw them hit with injuries to key players at crucial junctures of the season as they failed to emerge from the round-robin series in Munster.

Overall his time in charge has seen great progression with the side reaching three Munster finals and two All-Ireland semi-finals.

Next season will mark his seventh in charge of the side.
