Jim McGuinness ratified for a further one
Jim McGuinness has been ratified for a one-year extension as the Donegal senior football team manager. Additionally, Mickey McCann has been reappointed as the senior hurling manager for a two-year term.
Why it matters
These appointments provide leadership stability for Donegal's major Gaelic athletic teams as they prepare for upcoming competitive seasons.
Jim McGuinness has been given a one-year extension to his term as the Donegal senior football team manager.
McGuinness returned as the Donegal manager in August 2023 on a three-year term with the option of a fourth.
Donegal lost out to Down in the defence of their Ulster SFC crown this year while they exited the All-Ireland SFC after a round 3 loss to Dublin at Croke Park. Donegal also suffered defeat to Cork in Ballybofey during the All-Ireland SFC.
There had been suggestions that McGuinness would seek a longer term at the helm now, but a meeting tonight of the County Committee in Convoy has ratified the Glenties native for a one-year term while Mickey McCann will continue as the Donegal hurling manager for another two years.
