McEniff to stay on as Donegal manager

BRIAN McENIFF is to continue as Donegal manager despite intimating otherwise to his panel and mentors after Saturday’s fourth-round qualifier defeat to Fermanagh in Clones.

McEniff to stay on as Donegal manager

At last night’s county board meeting, McEniff was persuaded to stay on despite suggesting to the contrary in the aftermath of their shock exit. There is one year left on his current contract.

It is not the first time McEniff has done an about-face with regard to the job he has held on six separate occasions. After last year’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat he immediately stepped aside but as county board chairman he said he would personally seek a successor from within the county. This proved unsuccessful, despite the fact that Fermanagh had yet to give their top job to Donegal native Charlie Mulgrew.
