Longford GAA have released a statement addressing rumours surrounding the vacant senior football panel's managerial vacancy.
The position of senior football manager in the Midlands county has been available since Padraic Davis announced he would step away in the wake of Longford's 2021 championship exit.
And despite being no closer to announcing Davis' successor, rumours began to circulate this weekend about who would fill the post.
Irish Mirror columnist Andy Moran became heavily linked with the job as a spate of online articles touted him as the likely successor to Davis, but Longford GAA moved to deny any links and clarified that potential candidates for the role had yet to be contacted.
A statement read: "Following inaccurate reports in national media today regarding appointment of manager to the Longford Senior Football team, Longford GAA management wish to correct the record by stating that no interviews for the vacant post have taken place.
"Names of possible candidates for the post that have been circulated have not been contacted by selection committee, and thus there is no clear favourite at this stage.
"The selection committee are just beginning the process of selection and it is envisaged that an announcement of new manager will take place mid-November."
