Shaun Paul Barrett, Declan Bonner, Cathal Corey, Gary McDaid and Seamus McEnaney are the five candidates in the race.

McEnaney recently stepped down from his position in Wexford after just one year in charge, while Bonner has enjoyed success with the Donegal U21s and minors over the past few years.

A nephew of ex-Donegal boss Brian McIver, Corey was interviewed for the position in 2014, when Gallagher got the job, while he also applied for the role in Derry in 2012.

Barrett was manager of the Donegal minors for the past two seasons, while McDaid led Michael Murphy’s Glenswilly to three county titles since 2011.

Donegal have put together a five-person selection committee and interviews are expected to be held in the coming week.
