Former Mayo star Lee Keegan said he would like to see ex-team mate Andy Moran succeeding Kevin McStay as the county’s next senior football manager.

The vacancy has yet to be filled for the Westerners since McStay and has backroom team were let go by the county board a month ago.

There has since been plenty of speculation who will take the reins in Mayo for the 2026 season and, speaking on TalkSport’s ‘Beyond the 45’ podcast, Keegan feels that Moran would be “a great candidate” for the job.

“I think Andy Moran would be a nice fit,” said the five-time All-Star.

"I think lads know him, they respect him. And even listening to the Monaghan group this year, in particular, he has an energy. That kind of affection and emotion towards players, that's hard to replicate sometimes.

“I think Andy is very emotionally attached to the players, and he gets the best of them. So for me, he'd be a great candidate.”
