James Horan: The amount of really top quality coaches in Gaelic football is small

“Time is your biggest enemy in intercounty management because you don’t have enough of it," said former Mayo manager Horan.

The challenge in putting together a management team can be just as difficult as finding a new inter-county manager, according to former Mayo boss James Horan.

Speaking on the Irish Examiner’s Gaelic football show, available to all Examiner subscribers, Horan said part of the problem is the small pool of elite coaches in the country.
