New boss on the radar for All-Ireland champions Dublin

Dublin footballers will have a man at the helm when they tackle Meath in the NFL Div 1 in 2020.

Meath will play Dublin the NFL Div 1 on Sunday 15th March next year, but it won't be under the stewardship of Jim Gavin. 

Jim Gavin has stepped down as Dublin senior football manager after completing seven years of unprecedented success in charge.  

Dublin GAA Co Board issued a statement saying that JIm Gavin had "informed county officers, his management team and the players that he was handing back the reins of the Dublin senior football team to the county committee."

Jim Gavin joined the coaching setup of the Dublin u-21 team in 2003 helping them to their first  All-Ireland title at the grade.

He later managed the u-21s from 2008 to 2012, guiding them to All-Ireland titles in 2010 and 2012. 

He succeeded Pat Gilroy as Dublin senior football manager in October 2012.
