I’m interested in vacant Donegal job, says Doherty

ALL-IRELAND winner John Joe Doherty has declared his interest in succeeding Brian McIver as Donegal senior football manager.

McIver departed the position in acrimonious circumstances after the county board meeting and Doherty, a member of the historic 1992 All-Ireland winning team, has become the first contender to declare an interest.

“Yes, I am interested in the job and I am willing to let my name go forward. There is not much more I can say about it at the moment,” Doherty told the Donegal Democrat.
