Jim wields axe on backroom team

The Donegal County Board have confirmed manager Jim McGuinness’s intention “to make changes” to his backroom team — a move that saw assistant manager Rory Gallagher and two other members leave the set-up.

It was unclear when the news broke on Tuesday if McGuinness removed the video analyst Maxi Curran, kit man Francie Friel and Gallagher from their roles, or if they made their respective decisions themselves.

However, the statement indicates the change was McGuinness’s call.
