O’Mahony says Joyce is manager material

Galway legend Pádraic Joyce intends going into management and the man who gave him his first big break 15 years ago believes the former All Star will make an outstanding coach.

Joyce, 35, has no immediate plans to move into management but hopes to do it in a few years after bringing the curtain down on a glittering playing career this week.

And former Galway manager John O’Mahony, who gave Joyce his championship debut in 1998 in a campaign which ended in All-Ireland glory, believes the Killererin clubman can become a manager.
