Micko plays it coy on Mayo manager vacancy

MICK O’DWYER has refused to be drawn on speculation linking him with the vacant manager’s post in Mayo.

The veteran manager is one of five men – former Mayo boss John Maughan, Denis Kearney and former players Anthony McGarry and James Horan are the others – to have been nominated for the post in the wake of John O’Mahony’s departure.

It has been reported that O’Dwyer has the support of a number of people on the Mayo executive but the man himself has yet to confirm a severing of his links with Wicklow and is playing his cards close to his chest.
