Jim Gavin Agrees New Deal To Extend Time As Dublin Manager

Jim Gavin has agreed to extend his term as Dublin senior football manager.

Dublin GAA announced on Wednesday afternoon that the five-time All-Ireland winning boss - who initially took the reins in October 2012 - will remain on for at least another three years.

Gavin's new deal will end at the conclusion of the 2021 season.

Dublin GAA chairman, Sean Shanley, said:

Jim has contributed so much time and hard work on a voluntary basis to the Dublin team and I thank him and his backroom team for their continued efforts and dedication.

Gavin's previous deal ran until the end of next year's Championship.
