'Once I committed that I was going to go for the job, I 100% said to myself that I wouldn’t be playing. We have fantastic goalkeepers in Cavan so I think that transition will be easy.'
New Cavan boss Raymond Galligan says he has “absolutely no reservations” about being a success after swapping the goalkeeper’s jersey for the bainisteoir bib.
He said: “It depends how you define the word ‘experience’. If it’s in terms of managing a group of people, I have any amount in terms of my work, I manage two large day services at work in a challenging area, working with young people with disabilities with a large staff team. Graham still had a year to run on his deal with the county board and when it appeared that he was about to depart, Galligan revealed how he tried to persuade him to stay on.
His wife gave him full backing to go for the job and then, by chance, his uncle urged him to do so at a family gathering. “My main reason for making those calls was to make sure I had their backing and they really backed me and told me to go for it. That definitely makes things easier for me going in and managing this group because they know it’s business and it’s going to be nothing personal.
