Confirmation this evening that Rory Gallagher has stepped down as the Donegal senior manager set social media alight again.
Gallagher confirmed to his players that he had taken the decision to quit, after three years at the helm.
The 38-year-old Fermanagh native was a selector to Jim McGuinness for three years and in 2014 succeeded McGuinness in the top post.
Last year, Gallagher was given a new three-year term, with the option of a fourth, as he set about the task of rebuilding a squad that was decimated by retirements and withdrawals.
However, after disappointing and heavy defeats to Tyrone and Galway this summer, Gallagher has called time on his tenure.
