His career has been on some upward trajectory! To think he was still managing his home club team Naomh Conaill in 2009. Now he is taking up a role as assistant manager in the lucrative Chinese Super League. Astonishing really! Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9116 - 30/06/2017 11:13:28 2007861 Link 0 |

IMO the most tactically astute manager Gaelic football has ever seen. And an unbelievable motivator of players too. What he achieved with Donegal was nothing short of staggering and they are still benefiting from his good work. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 30/06/2017 13:09:45 2007924 Link 0 |
Shows what you can achieve when you push yourself.Disappointed that Celtic didnt see fit to promote him during his tenure instead demoted him from first team to u 17s.Jim will have some crack with the language. neutral (None) - Posts: 358 - 30/06/2017 13:37:21 2007938 Link 0 |
Fair play, he's a chancer..... Wish him the best of luck. offtheboat (USA) - Posts: 57 - 30/06/2017 13:40:00 2007939 Link 0 |
I wouldn't agree he's the most tactically astute manager either but McGuinness won the All Ireland. Horan didn't. Donegal were poor in 2013 alright. But we lost that final too. Who cares how far down the road we are after Horan? Sam Maguire is all that counts. I don't think tactics, psychology, making sub's decisions, motivation-wise that Horan is even close to McGuinness, unfortunately!

Congratulations Jim, this is great news for him and the family. As someone mentioned I hope he gets a bucketload of cash! Absolutely over the moon for him. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 30/06/2017 13:52:48 2007953 Link 1 |
Personally i think the aura over Jim Mcguniess is overated baloney. he transformed a bunch of players that were lazy, sociable but very very talented. once he got the Donegal players all rowing in the one direction they became a machine and a great one at that for a FEW seasons. he did magnificent with them but wahee pull the brakes he was hardly the messiah of Gaelic Football. Eamon Fitz counter acted his style in 3 weeks for the final in 2014 and over the subsequent years I wouldn't have fell in love with Eamon Fitz as Kerry manager. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 30/06/2017 13:59:22 2007956 Link 1 |

Wish we had him for a year or two when our lads were at their peak to put manners on them Dubs. A legend in Donegal and rightly so. Llaw_Gyffes (Mayo) - Posts: 1113 - 30/06/2017 14:18:58 2007970 Link 0 |
He changed the mindset in Donegal and how people look at Donegal football. He went for the Mayo job a number of year back...what could have been. He won Sam and that is all that matters. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 30/06/2017 14:24:17 2007975 Link 1 |
