Mayo's search for a new manager ended this week when RTE pundit Kevin McStay was handed the reins.
It is the third time McStay was in the running to manage the Westerners but this time the door has finally opened.
After his inter-county playing career ended prematurely due to injury in 1990, McStay was just 32 when appointed as ‘trainer’ under Anthony Egan, who served one season as manager in 1994/95.
