Niall Carew steps down as Sligo manager

“I am extremely thankful to the county board, who gave me the green light to continue into a fourth season. I was looking forward to continuing the progress we had made but unfortunately the landscape changed in my professional life in the meantime.”

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

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.
