Gavin reveals his respect for Harte

August 17, 2018

Tyrone manager Mickey Harte and Dublin counterpart Jim Gavin trade handshakes after the game

Jim Gavin has spoken in glowing terms of Mickey Harte ahead of next month's All-Ireland SFC final.

Harte is the longest-serving manager in inter-county football and Gavin expects to see him on the sideline for many more years to come.

"He's one of the great managers, absolutely," the Dublin boss is quoted as saying in the Irish News.

"Obviously, he saw the current crop of players coming good as well and how talented they were. But I think it's just a testament to his passion for Gaelic games. It comes to the fore when you hear him speak about the game.

"He's had great success in the past and he will have great success in the future."
