Alan Mulholland has been appointed as the new Galway football manager.
The Salthill/Knocknacarra club man led the Tribesmen to the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship title in 2007 and the under-21 crown last season.
Mulholland becomes Galway's fourth manager in as many years. He has been given a three-year contract to initially prove himself in the role.
If Mulholland lasts that three-year term, he will be breaking with the recent norm for Galway managers. The last two Galway supremos, Joe Kernan and Tomas O Flatharta, were both let go after one term. While Liam Sammon managed two seasons in charge of the Tribesmen before being shown the door.
Tuam Stars manager Alan Flynn and Donal Ó Flatharta from Spiddal will assist Mulholland. Both were assistants to Mulholland on the Galway U21 selecting panel last season.
Best candidate for the job, hope he gets the time to build a team.
