Sligo on the hunt for new manager as Niall Carew steps down

Sligo footballers are on the lookout for a new manager after Niall Carew announced his decision to step down.

Carew was given the green light to continue for a fourth season last month but has since started a new job which he says would make it almost impossible to continue to give the necessary commitment.

The Kildare native took over in 2015 and brought Sligo to a Connacht final, after defeating Galway. While Mayo inflicted a heavy defeat, they performed well in the subsequent All-Ireland Qualifier against Tyrone.
