Declan Bonner awaits club approval for Donegal hot-seat

Donegal look to have got their man as Declan Bonner will go before the clubs of the county tonight to be ratified for the position of senior team manager.

Bonner was part of the 1992 All-Ireland-winning panel who were the GAA’s Jubilee team at Croke Park on Sunday before Dublin’s narrow win over Mayo, and has enjoyed success as manager of the Donegal minors and under-21s in recent seasons.

Donegal won the Ulster U21 championship this year and with Bonner in charge, the county’s minors were provincial champions in 2014 and All-Ireland finalists, losing out to Kerry who have since gone on to win four in a row.
