Martin McHugh's got a new football management job

The Donegal native will coach his two sons next year.

MARTIN MCHUGH IS back in charge of an outfit that he steered to glory 12 years ago.

McHugh will be at the helm of the IT Sligo Sigerson Cup side for the coming year.

The move sees the 1992 Donegal All-Ireland winner return to a position he held when leading the third-level outfit to triumph back in 2002.

McHugh’s sons Ryan and Mark will both be part of the IT Sligo squad for the coming year. Ryan was part of the Donegal team that lost last Sunday’s All-Ireland final after previously bagging a brace of goals in the semi-final win over Dublin.

2012 All-Ireland winner Mark opted out of the Donegal squad earlier this year and spent the summer traveling in America.

Martin is best known in management circles for guiding Cavan to the 1997 Ulster senior football crown. In recent years he has been a noted football pundit, writing a column for The Star newspaper along with working for BBC Northern Ireland and RTÉ.

What advice did Dubs boss Jim Gavin have for Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley?
