BRIAN McGuckin has resigned as manager of Tyrone club Coalisland Na Fianna.

McGuckin was in his second stint in charge of the club and led them to the Tyrone Senior Championship final this year, where they lost to Dromore.

They had a captivating championship run, springing comebacks against Edendork, Errigal Ciaran and Carrickmore, but it emerged today that McGuckin has decided to step down, one season after he was appointed to the role for a second time.
