James Horan nominated for return to Mayo hot seat

James Horan is poised to return for a second stint as Mayo manager having been nominated for the position by his club Ballintubber.

The deadline for nominations closed at lunchtime yesterday, with Horan giving approval to Ballintubber to allow his name go forward. It is believed Michael Solan, who guided Mayo to All-Ireland U21 glory in 2016, and 2013 All-Ireland MFC winning manager Enda Gilvarry have also been nominated for the post.
