Dundalk sporting director Jim Magilton has admitted having a conversation with former All-Ireland winning Donegal boss Jim McGuinness about the vacant managerial role at Oriel Park.

However, despite some reports claiming that the 48-year-old is in line to become the new Lilywhites boss, it is understood that the Glenties man is not a serious contender to replace Shane Keegan and Filippo Giovagnoli, who walked away from the Co Louth club just over a month ago.
