Mickey Graham will not be taking the Leitrim job
Mickey Graham will not be taking up the role of Leitrim football manager, just two months after his appointment.
In a surprise development Leitrim GAA has announced that they are back in the hunt for a manager.
“Mickey was fully committed and looking forward to his role ahead but circumstances beyond his control have led to him making this decision and regrettably, for all concerned, he will not be continuing in his appointed position,” a statement from the county read.
Graham took over from Andy Moran at the beginning of August, having been Moran’s assistant for the last of his three years in charge of Leitrim. That continuity helped Leitrim to avoid a lengthy search.
Graham had previously managed Cavan for five years, a period that included their 2020 Ulster title win.
The Leitrim senior final finished level last weekend with Ballinamore Sean O’Heslin’s and Mohill meeting in a replay on Saturday evening.
