NIALL CAREW HAS committed to managing the Sligo senior footballers for the next two years despite speculation that he may return to his native Kildare.
The Sligo county board have confirmed that the agreement was reached following a brief meeting with the managerial appointments committee on Monday
Selectors Ronan Sweeney and Keith Carty as well as the present support staff and backroom team will also remain in place.
Carew was first appointed as Sligo manager last October. He steered Sligo to a shock win over Roscommon win in the Connacht semi-final before suffering a heavy defeat against Mayo in last month’s provincial decider.
They exited the All-Ireland championship with a Round 4 defeat last Saturday week at the hands of Tyrone in Croke Park.
Previously Carew had been in charge of Waterford for two seasons and before that he spent three years as a selector with Kildare under Kieran McGeeney.
There is still speculation over the Kildare manager position with Jason Ryan’s future unclear but Carew is not out of the reckoning for a potential return.
So Arsenal are finally realising Wenger cant run the club from top to bottom..
Didnt the neymar deal to Barca deal lead to tax issues and Laporte sacking
@ger gavin: it’s still ongoing Sandro Rosell is still up on charges and currently in custody .
The Arsenal are going to be a much bigger force now. Sanchez and Özil will sign much improved contracts knowing that the future will be bright and successful. Time to expand that trophy cabinet
new it!! Change is coming!!….about time.
@Giroud Doherty: forgot why I came here! Spuds power shift lol
@Giroud Doherty: we got one of the best scouts around As well
Lovely stuff. ‘Catalyst for change’ – Gazidis
@Jordo: A much needed change too. Can only be a positive for Arsenal.
@Nollaig Elliot: yeah I agree
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how all the Arsenal haters have gone quiet since this news was released. I rest my case.
