Dessie Farrell is an Irish Gaelic football coach and former player. He has been manager of the Dublin county team since 2019.
A former All Star Gaelic footballer who played at senior level for Dublin county team for nearly 15 years, he retired from county football in 2005 and spent another four years playing with his club Na Fianna. Having won an All-Ireland with Dublin in 1995, Farrell went on to captain his county, winning six Leinster championships, a National League title and three county championships with his club. He managed the Dublin minor football team in 2011 and 2012 and was named manager of the Na Fianna senior team in 2018.[1] He was confirmed as Dublin senior football team manager on 12 December 2019, succeeding Jim Gavin on a three-year contract.
Outside playing and coaching, Farrell served as chief executive and founder member of the Gaelic Players Association (GPA), the official representative body for inter-county footballers and hurlers.
