New Armagh boss in place soon, claims Kernan

ARMAGH defender Aaron Kernan is hopeful that the long-running search for a new senior football manager will be done and dusted within the next fortnight.

The post has remained vacant since Peter McDonnell stepped down – also in controversial circumstances – last July after two seasons in charge.

Paul Grimley had been the clear favourite for the role but his decision to join Seamus McEnaney in Monaghan prompted a statement from the players expressing their disappointment with the process.
