Devaney took over from Brendan Dunleavy a year ago. The Monaghan native, who has been living in Stranorlar since the 1990s, had previously managed Na Rossa.

Devaney had been involved with MacCumhaills at underage level before taking the senior job last November.

However, the club has confirmed that it is now seeking applications for a new boss.

In 2016, they reached the quarter-finals of the Donegal SFC, but were beaten by eventual champions Glenswilly, whiley they missed out on the promotion spots in Division 2 of the All-County Football League.

Any interested parties are asked to forward their application to the club secretary by email or in writing to Club Rúnaí, Alan Martin, Sessiagh O’Neill, Ballybofey or secretary.seanmccools.donegal@gaa.ie by no later than the 16th of December 2016. Please contact the Club Secretary on 086 172 3899 with any queries.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Damian Devaney, Sean Boyce, Paddy Mullen and Ciaran Browne for all their hard work and commitment over the last year.”
