Mick Lillis is a Gaelic games coach and manager. He has been in charge of the Laois county football team and several club teams. As well as managing winning senior championship teams in Laois with Portlaoise, he also guided St Laurence's in Kildare and Palatine in Carlow to county titles.
Lillis is a native of Cooraclare, County Clare, but played most of his club football career with Portlaoise and briefly played with the Laois senior football team.
Laois appointed Lillis as their senior football manager in 2015.[1] After a defeat to Dublin in the 2016 Leinster Senior Football Championship, Laois went on to beat Armagh in the qualifiers, but fell short against Lillis's native Clare in the next round. Lillis tendered his resignation as manager of the Laois senior football team shortly afterwards.[2]
