McGuinness stays as Lacey takes on Donegal minors

Jim McGuinness will manage Donegal's senior footballers in 2026 for a third season after being ratified by the county board on Monday.

The 52-year-old is in his second spell as Tir Chonaill boss and led them to Ulster titles in the last two years as well as the All-Ireland final in July where they were beaten by Kerry.

Former Donegal All-Star and Football of the Year Karl Lacey has rejoined the county to manage their minor footballers.

The 2012 All-Ireland winner was part of the backroom staff under Declan Bonner and served as the county's head of academy before managing Down club side Kilcoo for two seasons, leading them to the Ulster club title in 2024.
