Michael Murphy says “there’s not a chance” that he would consider putting his name forward for the Donegal vacancy.

Donegal GAA invited applications for a new senior football team manager last week after Aidan O’Rourke stepped down in the wake of the team’s preliminary quarter-final loss to Tyrone.

Speaking to RTE Sport, Murphy outlined that he would need to spend time getting the right experience in management before applying for such a position.

"I'll do everything in my power to learn as much about Gaelic and to do the right thing stepping-stone wise, to see whether there is an opportunity in the future. There's not a chance, I wouldn't be the right person for the job, the right candidate.

"I would need to go and figure things out and get more experience around that level. I’ve been a player in and around that level but that doesn’t mean all of a sudden you become a good manager.

“Other than the Sigerson Cup with the local college team and club minors in recent years, that's my experience of coaching and management so far. I need to go away, give that time and qualify myself and get the necessary experience there - good, bad and indifferent.”
