ANDY MORAN IS set to remain as Leitrim senior football boss for the next two season.
The Mayo playing great took charge last October and after his maiden campaign in 2022, Leitrim GAA have tonight confirmed he is set to stay in that position.
Moran, who won eight Connacht medals as a senior player with Mayo and was the 2017 Footballer of the Year, saw Leitrim finish fourth in Division 4 of the football league. They defeated London in the Connacht championship before they lost out to Galway.
Their Tailteann Cup campaign saw them defeat Antrim in their opener before they lost out to Sligo in the quarter-final against a penalty shootout.
The announcement means Moran will not enter the frame as a contender for the position in his native Mayo, the vacancy having been created there by James Horan’s departure on Monday.
