Mickey Harte (born 1954) is an Irish Gaelic football manager and former player. He is the current joint-manager of the Offaly senior football team.
Harte managed the Tyrone county team from 2003 until his resignation in 2020, at which time he was the longest-serving manager then active with the same team in inter-county competition.[1] He is the most successful senior manager in the county's history, having led it to three All-Ireland SFC titles, as well as six Ulster SFC titles, one National League and twelve Dr McKenna Cups. Immediately after his exit as Tyrone manager in 2020, Mickey took over the reins of the Louth county team and kept a hold of them until 2023.
Considered one of the best tacticians in the game, Harte is admired both by peers and former rivals.[2][3]
