Mickey Graham Joins Galway Coaching Staff

Mickey Graham has made a surprising shift to join the Galway GAA management team after stepping down as Leitrim manager just weeks earlier due to 'circumstances beyond his control.' His appointment is expected to be confirmed at a county committee meeting soon, filling the vacancy left by Cian O’Neill's departure to the Kerry management. Graham had a brief tenure at Leitrim, having taken over from Andy Moran, but did not manage a game before resigning. His involvement with Galway was highlighted during the recent Connacht interprovincial series at Croke Park, where he served as part of Padraic Joyce's backroom team. The news has sparked controversy and speculation, particularly in Leitrim, about the coaching shake-up. Other candidates for the Leitrim manager position include Declan Bonner, Steven Poacher, and Eamonn O’Hara, all of whom have expressed interest in the role.
