Image: James Crombie/INPHO FORMER WESTMEATH GOALKEEPER Gary Connaughton has welcomed the appointment of Dessie Dolan as the county’s new manager, labelling him “one of the most iconic sportsmen from the county.”
The Westmeath Examiner reported yesterday that Dolan’s ratification was imminent and his appointment was later confirmed by Westmeath GAA. Two-time All-Star John Keane is set to stay on as part of Dolan’s backroom team to work alongside his former team-mate.“It’s a very good appointment for Westmeath,” Connaughton told The42 about Dolan earning the top role in the Lake County.
Reflecting on their playing days together with Westmeath, Connaughton recalls Dolan as an influential presence in the dressing-room “who always spoke well,” and showcased all the qualities that could make him a candidate for management in the future.
