Eddie Brennan is a high-profile addition to the Westmeath coaching set-up for the 2027 campaign.<\/p>\n
The eight-time All-Ireland winner, who was part of Derek Lyng’s management team in Kilkenny this year, has signed up with Westmeath for next season’s tilt at the Joe McDonagh Cup.<\/p>\n
Offaly’s Adrian Clancy has been installed as coach, while Rory Fleming and Kevin O’Brien have joined as strength and conditioning coaches.<\/p>\n
Brennan has already won a Joe McDonagh title as manager, having guided Laois to the crown in 2019 and then subsequently masterminding a shock win over Dublin in the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final.<\/p>\n
He later coached Cuala and was added to the Kilkenny management team ahead of the 2026 season. However, the campaign was not a success, with Kilkenny exiting at the provincial stage, with Lyng resigning his post shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n
O’Brien had a difficult first year in charge of Westmeath, with just one win from five games, their sole victory coming against London in Ruislip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Brennan is a high-profile addition to the Westmeath coaching set-up for the 2027 campaign.
