Dublin manager Jim Gavin after his side's triumph over Kerry

Jim Gavin hinted that he will continue as Dublin manager in 2020 after leading his side to an unprecedented five-in-a-row yesterday.

The Round Tower clubman agreed a two-year extension to his reign at the end of last season and looks set to honour it.

"I can’t say it does [feel like the end]. I have committed to next year so we’ll reflect in a couple of weeks’ time," he told the assembled media in Croke Park.

“I’m excited about the future. You’re just in a privileged position to work with players that are so dedicated to their sport.

“I have it easy. Club managers have it difficult sending texts around to training, inter-county managers don’t do that, people turn up and you have a full complement for every training. You’re excited to see this today and excited to look at the horizon but that’s probably for another day. I’m not going to get into it now. I’ll sit down with the county board as I always do to review it.

“I’ve a profession outside of this role that I’ve been asked to do for Dublin GAA and then obviously I’ve family commitments as well and it all goes into the mix but now isn’t the time to be."
