Paul Galvin set to be confirmed as Wexford manager

Paul Galvin will be announced as the Wexford senior football manager, subject to his successful ratification, early next month.

Wexford GAA has confirmed that their senior football committee have nominated the former Footballer of the Year for the vacant role. It is understood that he is the only nominee put forward. The next Wexford county board meeting is in early September and Galvin will, meanwhile, be preparing his management team.

A four time All-Ireland winner and three time All Star, Galvin was joint manager of the TG4 Underdogs team last year. He is expected to favour an expressive kick passing game, while his involvement is sure to give football in the county a major boost.

This year the hurlers claimed the Leinster championship, as the footballers were beaten by Louth and Derry in the championship. They remain in Division Four of the league.
