Former Tipp boss Evans joins Rossies

Former Tipperary football boss John Evans was last night installed as the new manager of Roscommon.

Evans wasn’t initially believed to be in the running but the closely kept secret was confirmed when he was ratified by officials to succeed Des Newton.

The Kerry man had a successful spell in charge of Tipp before teaming up with Seamus McEnaney in Meath for a short spell earlier this year.
