Rochford quits amidst lack of support: Who are the top contenders to replace him?

A lack of support from the Mayo executive from the All-Ireland qualifier defeat to Kildare to recent days compelled Stephen Rochford to step down as senior football manager yesterday.

With little in the way of an endorsement from board officials despite having two years of his agreement remaining, the 39-year-old felt he had no choice but to step away.
