Peadar Mogan: 'You can see how much he cares about the jersey and Donegal when he speaks'

Peadar Mogan believes the timing of Jim McGuinness' return to Donegal was right after a 'tough' year.

The opportunity to work under Jim McGuinness is one thing. The opportunity to work under Jim McGuinness after a “tough” year where it wasn’t “pretty” to be a Donegal footballer is a whole other ball game.

Injury meant Peadar Mogan’s involvement in green and gold last year did not extend beyond the 11-point Round 6 beating at home to Mayo. Manager Paddy Carr’s involvement didn’t extend far beyond that fourth league defeat either. Three days later, the latter called time on his five-month spell in charge.
