He retired after the 1950 season and applied for the job of Footscray coach but after missing out joined Yarrawonga and coached them in the Ovens & Murray Football League, until 1954. McDonnell was signed by South Fremantle as coach in 1960 and remained in that role for four years to mixed results: the club played finals for the first time in four seasons in 1960 and did so again in 1962, but in 1961 and 1963 the red and whites won just six matches in each season for last and second-last placings, so that his contract was not renewed after 1963 in favour of Ray Sorrell.
