Stephen Rochford’s backroom team as new Mayo manager is seriously impressive

The scene is set.

It's all systems go in Mayo now as the county board have confirmed the backroom of new manager Stephen Rochford. Rochford's path to ratification was  cleared after his Corofin side were knocked out of the race for All-Ireland club glory last week. The Ballinrobe man was given the official seal of approval tonight at a county board meeting, and his backroom team has now officially been confirmed. https://twitter.com/MayoGAA/status/671438200100028416 https://twitter.com/MayoGAA/status/671438760098295808 https://twitter.com/MayoGAA/status/671440333385965568 Mayo fans will be glad to hear that Donie Buckley has been retained as selector, while Rochford has also included Armagh's Tony McEntee, an All-Ireland winner in 2002, as one of the key decision-makers in the dressing-room. Rochford has also asked Sean Carey, a former county minor colleague, to join the set up as selector. Carey is regarded as a legend within his club of Kiltane, and played minor football on the same Mayo side as Rochford in 1995. Highly-rated strength and conditioning coach with Arsenal Barry Solan joins the backroom team but there is no mention of any role for Gavin Duffy, the ex-Connacht rugby player. Mayo legend Maurice Horan is also included on the management ticket as video analyst.
