Jim McGuinness closing in on Donegal return

Former Donegal All-Ireland winner Colm McFadden is another potential option for a McGuinness ticket. The three-time Ulster medallist worked with Tony McEntee as Sligo forwards coach this year.

Jim McGuinness is in the running for a return to intercounty management with his native Donegal.

McGuinness previously managed the county from 2011-2014, winning an All-Ireland title in 2012. He was part of a potential new Donegal management ticket involving Rory Kavanagh and Karl Lacey last year but when Kavanagh pulled out of the race, he received no further communication from the County Board.
