Seamus McEnaney during his spell as Meath manager

Seamus McEnaney admits he would consider succeeding Brian McIver as Derry senior football manager if approached.

The former Monaghan and Meath boss says he hopes to get back into intercounty management soon and that an Ulster county would offer the perfect fit:

"I do intend to go back into intercounty management some time shortly, if the right job comes around," the Corduff clubman told The Irish News. "A lot of boxes would need to be ticked for me to be interested in an intercounty job.

"I'm very busy at my own job so, for a job to attract me, it would need all the boxes ticked. What I mean by that is for the quality of players to be available to that county, the facilities to be available.

"The crucial thing in any intercounty job and in Derry is that you would have to be confident that you would get every single player within the county playing.

"If all those boxes are ticked in a job in Ulster, that's probably where my preference would be to go back into management. I'd certainly consider it."
