The future of the Donegal senior football team manager, Rory Gallagher, is expected to get a brief airing at a meeting of the Donegal County Committee tonight.
Donegal club delegates meet in Ballybofey for their August meeting.
Gallagher will not be present, but will go before the delegates at the September sitting to deliver his post-Championship report.
The county manager is required to give two reports to the committee each year, one after the League and one following Donegal’s exit from the Championship.
Gallagher is to meet with leading County Board officials in the next week to review the year and discuss the future.
Gallagher still has three years to run on a four-year term agreed last autumn and is believed to have the backing of the Board.
The Fermanagh native has not spoken publicly since the heavy defeat by Galway on Saturday-week last, but can be expected to ride out the storm and continue in the position he has held since taking over from Jim McGuinness in the winter of 2014.
Among the possible scenarios in the coming weeks is for Gallagher to alter his backroom team for the 2018 campaign, which would be his fourth as Donegal’s manager.
It is understood that a group of Donegal’s senior players met last week to hold their own inquest into 2017 and it is believed that they will convey their feelings to the manager.
