Galway football manager Kevin Walsh steps down
Tuesday 3 September 2019 12:32, UK
Galway are on the lookout for a new senior football manager following the resignation of Kevin Walsh on Tuesday.
he former Sligo boss took charge of the Tribesmen for five seasons, overseeing real progress in that time. The Westerners picked up two Connacht titles, achieved Division 1 status and consolidated that position during his reign.
They also bridged a 17-year gap by picking up a championship win at Croke Park and reaching an All-Ireland semi-final last summer.
However, they were unable to reach the Super 8s this season after a provincial final loss to Roscommon and a qualifier defeat to Mayo.
There will be no shortage of high-profile names linked to the role, and the county is well placed to compete at the top table in the coming years, with recent success at both underage and club on a national stage.
