Outgoing Donegal football selector Francie Martin has thrown his hat into the ring for the vacant manager's post in the county. Martin, who was a selector to Brian McIver for the past two years, has confirmed his interest in succeeding the Ardboe native, who stepped down a few weeks ago after a number of clubs had expressed disquiet at his reappointment. Martin becomes only the second candidate - after former county star John Joe Doherty - to officially declare his interest in the post. "I am definitely putting in for it," said Martin, who is currently in charge of Glenswilly. "I have given it a lot of thought and I have to say that it would be a great honour to manage Donegal. It is a big job, but I am all set to give it a shot." Tweet
