PAT FLANAGAN IS no longer manager of the Sligo senior footballers after “uncertainty” over his future has forced the county board to look for a replacement.
The former Offaly player has been heavily linked with the vacant manager’s position in his native county despite being in charge of Sligo for less than a year.
The Yeats County reached the final round of the qualifiers this season where they lost to Cork after once again failing to gain promotion from Division III of the Allianz National football league.
In a statement this morning the Executive of the Sligo GAA County Committee said:
“[We have] authorised a sub-committee to seek out a suitable person to manage the senior County football panel.”This decision was arrived at due to the continued uncertainty regarding Pat Flanagan’s availability to remain in the role.”An Coiste Bainistí acknowledge Pat’s undoubted talent as a manager and his recent positive contribution to Sligo football.“We wish him the very best for the future.”
