Derry GAA has confirmed that Mickey Harte will remain as their senior football manager.
Derry chairman John Keenan told BBC NI's Thomas Niblock: “Mickey Harte is and will remain as Derry manager. 100%. We’ve an important game against Westmeath and we are fully united.”
It comes after last Sunday's heavy All-Ireland SFC Round 2 home defeat to Armagh had sparked intense speculation about the Tyrone man's future with the Oak Leafers. It was the Allianz League champions' third championship loss on the trot and leaves them needing to beat Westmeath in Newry on Saturday week to stay in the All-Ireland race.
