DONEGAL are set to ratify their new senior manager on Monday night with Aidan O’Rourke and Paddy Carr poised to get the nod.
Former Armagh All-Ireland winner O’Rourke and ex-Donegal player Carr both emerged as candidates to replace Declan Bonner last week.
The field opened up when it emerged that favourite, Donegal All-Ireland winner Rory Kavanagh, wasn’t prepared to put his name forward.

Carr and O’Rourke are understood to have joined forces in a bid to land the post.
Both men have previously managed Louth, while O’Rourke was a coach with Kildare, Armagh and Down.
Carr led Kilmacud Crokes, who he also played for, to the 2009 All-Ireland club title.
A meeting has been called for Monday evening where the appointment is likely to be ratified.
Roscommon are the only other county yet to appoint a football manager for 2023.
