County senior football managerial post among most attractive intercounty roles due to justifiable Sam Maguire aspirations
The standout candidate is Malachy O’Rourke. He improved Fermanagh and Monaghan during his time managing both counties. Since stepping down from Monaghan at the end of the 2019 season, whenever a top-tier county job becomes available, invariably his name is linked to the position.
Paddy Bradley was among Derry’s greatest forwards and managed the county under-20s in 2021 and 2022.

Also, there is the small matter of Glen possibly retaining the Derry Senior Football Championship, which would then see them compete in the Ulster club championship. And what’s to say they don’t progress all the way to another All-Ireland final appearance next January.
Within Derry, some of the potential options could include the likes of Martin Boyle, Damian McErlain, Paddy Bradley. Rory Gallagher’s influence is notable in this Derry side. When he took charge in late 2019 they were in Division Three. File photograph: Laszlo Geczo/Inpho
