GAA: Derry to seek nominations for a new senior football manager

DAMIAN Barton’s tenure as Derry senior manager appears to be over.  In a statement from Derry GAA, released on Tuesday night, nominations will be sought for the position of Derry senior football manager from clubs in the upcoming weeks.

Barton was appointed in 2015 on an ‘agreed’ two year period after Brian McIver stepped down in the aftermath of Derry’s All-Ireland defeat to Galway in Salthill.

The statement continued: “We would like to sincerely thank Damian, his management and backroom teams, and all the players who have represented their county during this period.”
