McIver steps down as Donegal boss.
Brian McIver has stepped down as Donegal manager after Saturday night's 2-12 to 1-7 defeat by Monaghan in the third round of All-Ireland qualifiers.
McIver told the players of his decision after the game at Healy Park.
The Tyrone man took charge in September 2005 and led Donegal to last year's All-Ireland quarter-finals where they were narrowly defeated by Cork.
His side won the National Football League this year but lost heavily to Tyrone in their Ulster SFC semi-final.
The county had high hopes of progressing from last year's appearance in the last eight but, in the end, fell well short.
McIver had formerly led Ballinderry to an All-Ireland club title in 2002 and was a surprise choice to succeed Brian McEniff as Donegal boss.
Good Luck Brian
a National League Title in his second year -
and almost a change in the mentality of Donegal players (until Mc Fadden nailed Dooher)
Possible candidate for Armagh if Big Paul doesn't get the invite?
