Former Tyrone manager Mickey Harte GAA legend and devout Catholic Mickey Harte has stepped down as Tyrone senior football manager after 18 years.
Although he was “disappointed” not to lead Tyrone for another season after his request was not granted by the Tyrone management committee, he said he had “immense gratitude for having had the privilege of managing Tyrone at minor, U21 and senior level for the last thirty years”.
In an interview with The Irish News after his announcement, when asked what he’s learned over the years he said: “The past is gone and you can’t change it. The future is not ours to behold, unless God gives us that. It’s really about living in the now. It’s about being peaceful within yourself, and I’ve found that within my Faith.
“It’s a gift that I’d love to give everybody. I’d love everybody to experience the gift that it is to be peaceful and to know that God has given you that peace.”
