Weeks of speculation were brought to an end tonight when James Horan (38) was appointed as the new manager of the Mayo senior football team.
The Ballintubber manager, who was born in New Zealand, was recommended for the position by the five-man Mayo GAA selection committee and ratified by club delegates at a County Board meeting at McHale Park, Castlebar.
Former Dublin manager, Tommy Lyons, and Anthony McGarry were the other candidates interviewed for the high-profile position which was vacated by John O’Mahony last June.
