Eamonn O’Hara has intimated his interest in managing Leitrim.

The former Sligo All-Star is viewed as a frontrunner for the vacancy after guiding Mohill to back-to-back Leitrim SFC titles last weekend. Leitrim were set to be managed by Mickey Graham in 2025, only for the former Cavan boss to step down after just two months last week.

“If the opportunity ever arises to represent or manage a county, you’d never turn it away. I’ve really enjoyed club football,” O’Hara told RTÉ Radio One’s Sunday Sport.

“I’m lucky enough to have managed Ballaghaderreen in Mayo and my own club Tourlestrane for five years and now Mohill. I love the management side of things.

“It can be frustrating at times and you can be over-passionate, but it’s not something that you’d never... you’d always speak to somebody about it. I’d never, definitely not, turn it down.”
