GAA:Former Meath and current International Rules manager Seán Boylan said he will not be putting his name forward for the vacant Armagh football manager's post.

It had been reported that Boylan was the preferred candidate to take over from Peter McDonnell. And while flattered to be linked with the job, Boylan insisted he has no interest in returning to inter-county management.

"It's the first I heard of it to be honest, but it isn't something I'd consider," the Dunboyne man said in reference to the reports.

"Armagh is a great football county and it's very flattering to be talked about in connection with the job. But a position like that is almost a full-time job these days and I simply haven't time to commit to it."

Senior Armagh players met with the county executive last night where a new plan was agreed to find Peter McDonnell's replacement.

It is expected that clubs will be asked to re-nominate candidates for the position and a new sub-committee will be formed to select the new manager.
