New Roscommon manager could be named shortly

It is believed that the new Roscommon manager could be announced later today. The county board have been on the search for a replacement for Anthony Cunningham since he stepped down in August. It was believed that Pat Flannagan was in line to fill the position but that now appears unlikely with former player Don Connellan now emerging as a leading contender. The Rossies who were promoted this year back to Division 1 are one of 3 teams in the top tier who are currently without a manager as Monaghan and Donegal are also looking to fill the position.
