Tony McEntee and Eamonn O’Hara are the leading candidates for the Sligo senior football managerial position.

Former Mayo coach McEntee had also been linked with the Louth vacancy but the two-time All-Ireland senior club winning manager is considered a stronger candidate for the role Paul Taylor stepped down from earlier this month.
