Maurice Horan (born 1976) is an Irish Gaelic football manager and former player. He is a former manager of the senior Limerick county team. [1]

Horan experienced a relatively unsuccessful playing career at the club level with Ballinrobe and Monaleen and at the inter-county level with Mayo and Limerick. He was a full-forward for both club and county; however, his career ended without any provincial success in either Connacht or Munster.

Immediately after retiring from inter-county activity, Horan became involved in team management. He served as the manager of the Limerick under-21 football team for a period. Horan was appointed as manager of the Limerick senior football team in October 2010. He resigned in July 2013. [2] [3] [4]

Ahead of the 2020 season, he joined the Laois backroom team as a coach. [5]
