Nine years on, Jim McGuinness has returned to take charge of Donegal’s senior footballers.

And just like when he took charge initially in July 2010, his job will be to try and restore Donegal from a low ebb. The name of McGuinness, who was not in attendance at the Donegal GAA Centre in Convoy, was put before club delegates at a hastily-arranged meeting in Convoy on Monday night.
