Former Armagh All-Ireland winner Oisin McConville says Mickey Harte will still be in charge of Derry next season despite their indifferent All-Ireland Championship campaign.
Armagh All-Ireland winner Oisin McConville says Derry manager Mickey Harte will still be at the helm of the Oak Leaf county next year despite their underwhelming run of form in the championship.
After winning Football League Division One in impressive style, Derry had been mentioned as potential Sam Maguire winners, but having been stunned by Donegal in Ulster, their All-Ireland series was a mixed bag with wins over Westmeath, and then Mayo in a penalty shootout, coming after falling to Galway and Armagh.
"If you wanted to make excuses you could say, ‘three weeks in a row, too much, there was tiredness'. Whether that was a factor I don’t know. There’s no real spark. They got nothing off the bench, too many boys underperformed," reflected the BBC analyst.
