Donegal gaffer Jim McGuinness spends 40 hours a week training All-Ireland team

Driven boss says “every win is a precious thing” and thinks they’re in with a chance of bringing Sam Maguire cup home

“And me and Rory would be on the phone at least an hour every day, then you’ve got your one to ones with players, then you are going watching games and watching club games. It could be anything.”

He continued “Football is my life I wouldn’t change a minute of it and I have a great support system at home that allows me to do that. I hate saying 40 hours because it sounds like a job type thing, it’s not. It’s a passion. I went for the job three times for good reason, I believed I could do something with the players and I believed the players were there. That’s what’s driving me. 

“We are in a final now and if we could get over the line I would be absolutely delighted for them. Because nobody can take it away from them, we are very close now and we just have to try see the thing through.”
