Donegal 2012's All-Ireland winner Mark McHugh has been confirmed as coach in the new Roscommon managerial set-up.

Davy Burke was ratified as the new Roscommon senior manager at a meeting of the Roscommon County Board that was held tonight. He has been appointed for a three-year period.  

Burke managed Kildare, his native county, to the All-Ireland U-20 championship in 2018 and in 2019 he managed Sarsfields from Newbridge to win the Kildare SFC.

McHugh is the only one of the backroom team as yet announced. The Kilcar native was coach with Fermanagh minors and also part of Maxi Curran's side who reached the LGFA All-Ireland semi-final and Division 1 League final this year.

Roscommon won Division 2 of the Allianz League this year, overcoming Galway in the final 1-20 to 0-22 at Croke Park.
