James Horan steps down after Mayo's championship exit

The decision comes after defeat to Kerry.

JAMES HORAN HAS decided to quit his post as Mayo senior football manager.

County board officials confirmed the news hours after the Connacht champions’ All-Ireland semi-final replay defeat to Kerry in Limerick.

Horan took over in 2010 and guided the westerners to two All-Ireland finals; losing to Donegal in 2012 and Dublin last year.

Asked this evening about his future after the extra-time defeat at the Gaelic Grounds, the Ballintubber man said it wasn’t the time to discuss it but he’s made a quick decision in the wake of another disappointment.
