Sean McCaffrey (12 September 1959 – 30 December 2017) was an Irish football manager. He was the first team manager of League of Ireland Premier Division side Dundalk taking over in January 2012, replacing Ian Foster.[1] He left the club by mutual consent in July 2017.

Speaking after being appointed he said "I'm delighted to get the job. I think it's a club with a fantastic fan base and huge potential. It's a huge football town. The Dundalk Schoolboys' League is on your doorstep, and I know a lot of people involved in it."[2][3]

McCaffrey was involved in the establishment of his home town club Monaghan United in 1979, and subsequently managed the team for a number of years, including their debut League of Ireland season in 1985-86.

In 2003, he succeeded Brian Kerr as coach of the Republic of Ireland U17, U18 and U19 teams, remaining in the role until 2010.[4]
