In Gaelic games, a manager or (in Irish) bainisteoir is involved in the direction and instruction of the on-field operations of a team.[1][2] The role entails the application of sport tactics and strategies during the game itself, and usually entails substitution of players and other such actions as needed. At games, the manager may sometimes wear a bib with the word "manager" or "bainisteoir" adorning it.[2][3] Many managers were former players themselves, and are assisted in coaching the team by a group of selectors (in Irish roghnóirí).[4]
As part of a new mini-series, AIB's The Toughest Rivalry, Redknapp will be donning the bainisteoir's bib with Castlehaven GAA.
The Dublin manager has attracted some criticism in recent years for his expressionless demeanour on the sideline while on duty in the Bainisteoir bib.
