Mick O'Dwyer has expressed an interest in the vacant Mayo football manager's post.

The Kerry legend, who has yet to confirm his departure from Wicklow, has been nominated for the Mayo job along with Denis Kearney, John Maughan, James Horan and Anthony McGarry, and it is believed a group of Mayo businessman at home and abroad are willing the back any move to appoint him.

However, there is also a lot of support among officials to appoint from within the county and this could scupper the 74-year-old's hopes of landing the job.

O'Dwyer said: "I am getting the itch back now again. I have had other counties on to me as well but told them I wasn't interested at this stage." Tweet
