Anthony Molloy believes that Jim McGuinness still has a role to play in Donegal football.
McGuinness’s playing career with the county team overlapped with the back end of Molloy’s though it’s his managerial achievements that set him apart most, with Donegal winning three Ulster titles and an All-Ireland in 2012 during his four-year reign.
Having stepped down following the 2014 All-Ireland final loss to Kerry, McGuinness has since channelled his energies into soccer though his progress has stalled since being sacked as manager of US club Charlotte Independence in 2019.
He has been linked with numerous inter-county roles since and has taken training sessions in some counties but soccer remains his priority for now.
Molloy said: “I would love to see Jim come back, and maybe we will see Jim back. Any county job comes up, Jim McGuinness's name is linked to it.
“Jim McGuinness, we understood that he might have been around the set up when Rory Kavanagh put his name forward. Rumour had it that he was going to come in as a consultant maybe a couple of times a month to assist. That didn't materialise anyway.
