FORMER ALL-STAR and All-Ireland winner Mark McHugh believes Jim McGuinness and Karl Lacey would be the ideal management team to take over Donegal.
Declan Bonner stepped down from the role last week after five years at the helm.
McGuinness won the 2012 All-Ireland as manager of the Tír Chonaill men, with a team that featured both Lacey and McHugh.
He has since gone on to carve out a career as a coach and performance consultant in professional soccer.
Lacey, a former Footballer of the Year, left Bonner’s management team in January of last year due to work and family commitments.

“The dream ticket, everyone speaks about McGuinness coming back,” McHugh told BBC Radio Foyle.
“Karl Lacey’s been a big player in the coaching scene in Donegal this last number of years.
If you’re asking me for a dream ticket, maybe Lacey and McGuinness together.
“Will it happen? I don’t know. I don’t know the thoughts of them, I don’t know what goes on in their minds or have they been speaking.”
