WE KNOW Jim McGuinness is good – now it seems so does Liverpool Football Club.
That’s the latest report linking the Donegal manager with a change of sport, following reports linking him with Celtic last week.
The claim – in the Irish Times – says Jim McGuinness is being linked to a full-time position as sports psychologist with Liverpool football club.
But they also report the link has been dismissed by the Donegal County Board, presuming the Board can speak on Jim McGuinness’s behalf.
Donegal chairman PJ McGowan insisted: “Jim was appointed for four years and he has only done two. He wanted four years himself and that’s what we agreed to.
“This is total news to me. We have already talked to Jim about plans for what he intends to do over the winter months and next year.
“What Jim does in his own time is his business but this would be a total shock,” McGowan added.
McGuinness has an MSc in sport psychology from John Moore’s University in Liverpool and has given lectures to several non-GAA sports organisations.
He is believed to have recent links with Liverpool’s manager and Antrim native Brendan Rodgers.
