Speculation grows that Mickey Harte has request to extend term as Tyrone boss rejected

The three-time All-Ireland winning manager is the longest-serving manager in senior inter-county football

It would be the second time in four years that the 68-year-old has had an application for an extension rejected.

There is growing speculation in Tyrone this evening that Mickey Harte has had a request to remain on as manager turned down by the county board executive.

Harte’s most recent three-year term concluded last Sunday week when his team lost to Donegal in an Ulster quarter-final. That came a week after Tyrone secured their Division 1 status.
