Meath have been left stunned by the departure of Davy Nelson as manager after just eight months in the role.
The back-to-back All-Ireland champions recorded just one win from seven league games this year and lost to Dublin in the Leinster final last weekend.
Nelson, who previously managed Navan O'Mahony's to four Meath SFC titles, succeeded Eamonn Murray as manager late last year.
