Curran to take "inevitable step" into management

December 09, 2014

St Brigid's Shane Curran celebrates a late goal.

Former Roscommon and St Brigid's goalkeeper Shane Curran will try his hand at management in 2015.

The colourful 43-year-old only hung up his gloves after the Roscommon champions were beaten by Ballintubber in their Connacht club semi-final last month but admits it's almost a done deal that he'll enter into club management in the coming weeks:

"It's most likely that I will, but I've made no concrete decision as of yet, and I'd do anyone the courtesy of talking. But yes, I probably will be, it's an inevitable step isn't it," he says in The Irish Times.

"It's all had to be weighed up, you need a life/work schedule balance before even attempting it.

"There is a fresh approach and fresh ideas needed, the game is going in a different direction so I'll see if I can bring in some of my thinking to it.

"I think in my career I've had 57 managers so I think I've taken in something from all of them in every aspect."
