John Maughan is an Irish Gaelic football manager and former player who currently is manager of the Offaly football team.
He is a former manager of the Mayo, Clare, Roscommon and Fermanagh senior football teams.[1][2] He is only the third man to lead five different counties and the first to complete a "slam", with at least one of these counties coming from each of Ireland's four provinces.There was not much success in most of these counties , but its still a credit to him to keep getting his name out there and taking on different challenges.[3]
He led Clare to the 1992 Munster Senior Football Championship. Appointed manager of Mayo on the back of this success, Maughan led his native county to the successive All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final defeats in 1996, 1997. He returned for a second spell in charge and led his native county to a further All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final defeat in 2004.[4][5]
He has also led NUI Galway GAA.[1][5]
Maughan is from Crossmolina in County Mayo, Ireland. He is a graduate of University College Galway.[6]
As of 2019, Maughan is a member of the board of Sport Ireland.[citation needed]
