Earlier this month, Solan ended his time as Longford manager after two years in the role.
Solan took charge at Longford in August 2024, guiding the county to claim promotion this spring to Division 3 of the Allianz football league. Longford lost out in their Leinster opener this year to eventual provincial champions Westmeath.
In this season’s Tailteann Cup, Longford lost out to Fermanagh, defeated Clare, and were then knocked out by Down in Round 3.
Ballaghaderreen man Solan is a former All-Ireland U21 winning manager with Mayo in 2016. He also served as assistant manager to Andy Moran with Leitrim in 2022 and 2023.
