Former Fermanagh and Erne Gaels footballer Rory Gallagher has been confirmed as the new Donegal manager. He takes over from Jim McGuinness and has been appointed on a three-year term with an option for a fourth.
Gallagher worked as McGuinness’s number two with the 2012 All-Ireland- winning side, but left when McGuinness changed his backroom team at the end of the 2013 championship season.
Donegal announced Gallagher’s appointment on their official website.
It read: “GAA Club Delegates tonight ratified Rory Gallagher as Donegal Senior Football manager. Rory Gallagher brings experience and knowledge of the squad as a former selector of the 2012 All-Ireland winning team. Rory is appointed for a 3 year term with the option for a forth year available.
“Donegal GAA look forward to working with Rory and his backroom team and aim to keep Donegal competing at the top level.
“Donegal GAA would like to thank Michael McGeehan, Gary Walsh, Liam Ward, P.J. McGowan, Joseph McKelvey for the assistance they gave as members of the different selection committees.”
