DUBLIN’S ALL-IRELAND winning boss Jim Gavin is to stay at the helm of the county’s senior football side until the close of the 2021 championship season.
The Dublin county board have announced today that Gavin has agreed to stay on for another three years.
In May 2017 it had been announced that Gavin had committed to a two-year extension to his existing arrangement, which would have taken him up to the end of the 2019 campaign.
Having been first appointed in October 2012, today’s news means Gavin will have manager for nine seasons if he continues until the end of this deal.
Dublin chairman Sean Shanley praised Gavin’s work.
